Jailbreaking the iPad - in Ubuntu

[ Thanks to Ramsai for this link. ]

"Every article you'll see about jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad generally revolves around a program in Windows or OS X. If you're a Linux user, you'll probably feel left out. By the end of this article by Delan Azabani, you will be able to jailbreak your iPad with ease, and without Windows or OS X.

"What is jailbreaking?

"Jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad allows you to run unsigned code by unlocking the root account on the device. Simply, this allows you to install any software you like - without the restriction of having to be in the main Apple app store. Remember, jailbreaking is not SIM unlocking. Jailbreaking voids the Apple-supplied warranty, but if you need to return the device to Apple, simply uninstall the jailbreak."
