What ubuntu applications provide support? (guides, how to's, status)
Also, specifically, details on support for syncing music to iPhone's and iPod's with the latest OS version, as of writing iOS 5:
- Can you sync music to apple devices using iOS5? (iPhone & iPod)
- What applications allow you to do this and how? (guides, how to's, status)

What has already been established is:

Apple does not support Linux and has no plans to.
libimobiledevice seems to provide some support but does not support syncing music with devices using iOS5. (I can't test libmobiledevice with anything other iOS5, so I can't provide details on how that works)
