This process is relatively simple, so try not to get freaked out 
The first thing to to is add a couple of sources to your software repositories.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu karmic main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
Next, add the gpg key, update your system, and install iFuse.
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F0876AC9 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ifuse
Almost home free. Create a directory for mounting your iPhone. I placed it in /media/iPhone. Make sure that you chmod the directory.
sudo mkdir /media/iPhone sudo chmod 777 /media/iPhone
Lastly, plug in your iPhone and mount with
sudo ifuse /media/iPhone
When you are ready to unplug, unmount with the following command
sudo umount /media/iPhone
The final result in Ubuntu 9.10 Linux
