Switching between Nitdroid and Maemo is painless and takes under 2 minutes so long as you have your Linux host handy and the usb cable dangling from it. Power down the nit, run the appropriate nitdroid flasher depending on which direction you wish to switch, hook up the cable, boot the nit up in flash mode, and the flash takes under 5 seconds on my CentOS 5 box. But switching OSes while I'm away from my linux host? Not unless someone can post Windows instructions.

Booting ubuntu live on my thinkpad failed to detect the wifi or the RJ. No internet, no flashing. I would love to see a bootable USB key specifically for this project. I forgot to try Knoppix now that I think about it. Maybe Gentoo as well. I need to be able to flash from my laptop.
