SansaLinux

SansaLinux is port of iPodLinux for the Sandisk Sansa e200 MP3player series. It is useable only with the original e200 series, but not with the V2 models. Sansalinux comes with a bootloader, a 2.4 Linux-kernel, a modified podzilla2 and some podzilla-plugins. It needs no repartitioning of the Sansa-flash. It runs directly from an ext2 loop-filesystem which is stored on the FAT-filesystem.

video4fuze

video4fuze is a tool to make easier putting videos on the Sansa Fuze player without the Sansa Media Converter.
