I don't know about your particular player, but you can on the 4gb Glacier. I'm writing this reply with Damn Small Linux 3.4 embedded with qemu emulation. It seems to work fine, albeit a little slow. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make it like a bootbale pen drive and run it a boot up. With the "toram" boot option you would get better performance. I've already got about 3GB of music on my player sorted just the way I want it, so I'm not going to try it with my player
