Do you think that the lucky people having the dual boot will say to the inferiors, like me, what to do in order to get the dual boot or they will keep secret their information?

Give up the persecution complex, please. Everyone will have the option for dual boot.

It's up to you to prep an SD card with a bootable MeeGo image. You might have to, you know, learn something.

meego should be in a partition on the internal disk so it can be faster.

yes. the model of n900's touch screen is locked. meaning there is only one model of touch screen in every n900 ever existed. so you most probably can not switch it to a version that supports multitouch without major redesigning of hardware.

Maybe later. However, that isn't compatible with Maemo5 at this point (not without changing the partitions of the eMMC for everyone.) The goal with these changes is to allow people who want to test MeeGo the ability to do so without having to reflash their kernel or mess around with loading it via USB every reboot.

Thank you, I really hope in Meego because with maemo there is not support for essential things, and I am referring not only to flash player, but also to pdf viewer. In fact I need to read a lot of math and with n900 I cannot because, a lot of formulas created by latex are not readable.

ah yes. reflashing would be a major hassle.
