You get Ubuntu, and the deep feeling of satisfaction that comes with the ability to natively run software from its vast repositories. You get to let your n900 stop pretending to be a phone, and just let it behave like a normal computer.

Presumably, the option to boot either in Maemo or Ubuntu?
Yes. I presume that's why "with u-boot" is in the thread's title.

If I choose to boot in Ubuntu, I presume that the cellphone capabilities will not work in this mode. What about gps?
Probably somewhere in the thread but i'll ask anyway. Can you list the partition arrangement please?
Yes, that probably is somewhere in this thread. I presume that information would be in the first post. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...82&postcount=1
