Ok, I'm quite the dee dee dee when it comes to linux, so here's a dumb question for you guys

Is there any linux version in which iTunes and my iPod will work?

I think the more important question is: "is there an itunes version which will work with linux?"

I have heard of hacked versions of iTunes that would run on Linux, but the closest apps. I know off that have similar functionality are Banshee and Songbird (I think they can even sync. with the device).

Rhythmbox is inspired by iTunes and has support for iPods. It's simple compared to other music players like Amarok, but I like it better as it feels like bloated. It's maintained by the GNOME Team and comes default in distros that use the GNOME desktop environment.

Wait wait... i'm SOO confused now.... I'm a Linux newb... but ITunes is a MAC program, originally designed for a MAC, and later ported to PC no?? MAC OS is a Linux\Unix distro so how does ITunes not work?!?!?!

Mac OS X is not a Linux distro, it's Unix-like OS primarily based on BSD.

Ok. But that said isn't OSX and Linux\Unix very similar.... hasn't anyone made a compatability tool (like Winex) for MAC? Just curious.

OSX isn't a Linux distro, but it's somewhat based off of UNIX. I guess you could say OSX and Linux are "distant cousins" (I have an easy time using the Console in OSX because they're quite similar.)

There is wine for OSX, but I don't need to use it to run iTunes... You could try wine for Linux and see if it'll run iTunes. I should give it a try myself, but at this point I don't know if it will work.
