It already IS a computer. OS X is a slimmed down version of Mac OS X compiled for the ARMv6KZ cellular processor used in the iPhone and iPod touch. If you jailbreak the device, it become a really useful PDA-ish device.

You can run
Linux on most iPods, although only on the 1st Gen Nano.
I don't really see the point though.

my ipod is the 1st gen and i've already installed linux once in it...
but the point here is install an OS in ipod, and not use his display, but with some kinda of remote desktop, like windows remote desktop or VNC...
imagine this:
plug you ipod into your computer, acess him with VNC (or other) and start, lets say, a quake 2 dedicated server on it...
did you guys get it now?

No, not possible. The ARM processor's in the Nano's are not capable of running such demanding OS tasks. Linux is about as good as it gets. If you want to slim down and recompile the OS of your choice in ARM architecture, then by all means, go for it. You wont see anyone else trying that for legal reasons...
