I have.  My PoweBook G3 has xubuntu, the XFCE version of Ubuntu Linux.  It 
recognizes my iPod as soon as I plug it in.  When I double-click on the iPod 
icon on the desktop, the XFCE file manager shows me the contents of the iPod.  
gtkpod can read and write the iPod.

Here is the output from dmesg when I plug in the iPod and mount it:
