Run Ubuntu, Android, ChromeOS and Angstrom simultaneously on your ARM device
 

I'm bumping here a thread I saw yesterday, which unfortunately has a less explicative title.

Thing is, Always Innovating has made available for free, with source, an image that's bootable on the Beagleboard, which allows to run simultaneously ubuntu, android, chromeos and an angstrom derivative developed by them.

I hope that our fine developers take this thing and port to the N900; saying it would be f*ckin' awesome is understatement :cool:

Thoughts?

this does look very interesting and if portable would be very nice

Well there is chroot already.

Why would you need 4 badly-implemented OS's to choose from?

Wouldn't be better to at least have one (or two) properly implemented ones?

After looking into this, it's not too bad.
It's essentially just multiboot with images before image/OS selection. Nothing special..

BUT!

Beagleboard runs u-boot as (most) you know....

This means we can now possibly have:
Maemo (via uboot)
Meego (via uboot)
Ubuntu
Droid
Angstrom (AI OS)
Chromium

This could be VERY beneficial to us who want to run Meego but do not want to loose Droid (and/or ubuntu).
I'm going to DL the link and see how it runs on my BB (RevC4 [if it runs]) and see what u-boot commands I need and hopefully we have run meego, maemo and everything else at the same time!

Edit: This looks very impressive... Downloading now :)

Can I please ask a question without doing my homework, please? Just scanned thru your link about the beagle board. Can I buy one of the beagle board, $149(?), and installed the always innovation, I will then have fun with 4 OS? I would like to try if it is at my level of linux :( , way too tempting.

I imagine there are plenty fellow forum members with a beagleboard... developers often buy this kind of toys :)
Please someone try this img? Please?
