I would like to know if I could install Linux on my Media Player Device since it can be Updated with Firmware. All help is welcome (and needed). Thanks

it might be possible, but what is the media device ...
just knowing the name and model and doing some searching might yield some results ..

Its a RipGo! and they stop makind updates for it. There is no more support for this device.

Doubtfull... You would need to know the microprocessor type, I/O mapping etc. Not an easy task.

If I were able to find this information it would be possible....right?

It might be possible, if you were a dedicated and very skilled hacker who liked a challenge.

do you have any experience with programming? or are you just "handy" with electronics?

I've taken a few programming classes at college. My major is Computer Information Systems.
