Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I was impatient; quite the contrary. "Old, lazy and experienced" (me) = patient. I am currently not a trailblazer, but sometimes I can recognize a treacherous path that others are on. But not to imply anything in this case.

Anyway, if Solca is close to porting GRUB or something like it, everything I said becomes meaningless and I am 110% behind such a task. Sh*t, then maybe it can be ported to all my USB-equipped routers! I guess what I should have said was that such an effort would take someone's full attention, but they would be rewarded by a binary test result: either a current Maemo OS works the same or it doesn't. When it does, THEN I would say it's time for full-bore Android, or mobile Ubuntu, or whatever. In this scenario you would increase your tester base and thus porting alternative kernels/OS's would probably accelerate.
