Did it give you any particular errors?  I'd like to see any bugs in
the libgpod code fixed so that things "Just Work(tm)" for users of
newer ipods.

If anyone else has problems with the libgpod update that's now in F7
and F8, please report them (preferably in bugzilla, as sometimes I
miss things on the list :).

There is a hal callout in the libgpod update that is supposed to take
care of this automagically.  I have talked to several users with new
classics and nano videos that is has worked well for.  Any cases where
it fails are bugs that can likely be addressed if we get good
information on why things are failing.

There's no reason at all to move to Ubuntu over things like this.
There are no official packages for Ubuntu, while there are for Fedora.
And, AFAIK from talking with some Ubuntu packagers/developers, there
will not be any official libgpod updates in the current Ubuntu
releases.

There is also much useless info in the ubuntu forums regarding ipods,
so please be careful if/when reading the advice there. :)
