“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.”
