The USB method seems to be a lot easier than the Firewire ...
Make a directory /media/ipod with appropriate permissions.
Install the apps by running wajig install hfsplus hfsutils
hfsutils-tcltk libhfsp0. Edit your /etc/fstab file to
have an entry like:
/dev/sda3 /media/ipod hfsplus user,noauto,sync,uid=1002,gid=1002 0 0

Your iPod may come up as sdb, sdc, etc., so change appropriately.
Connect your iPod to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. mount
/media/ipod. Now it should be working. I like using gtkpod, but
there are many others available.
Remember to umount /media/ipod before disconnecting to avoid
corrupting the filesystem (the iPod will still say ``Do Not
Disconnect'', but as long as you've unmounted it, you should be right
to disconnect it).
