About Fedora, you can install it but you will only see the black console. Mer, I didn't try and Neopwn you can't get it right now, unless you buy their flash card with preinstalled neopwn.


There are other bootloaders too, but yea. Also, you system needs to be modified for n900. So, you can't just download armel linux and boot it.
You need to copy kernel binaries, and do other stuff to make it work.
Gotcha, I am not a Linux guru by any means - I would really love to boot Debian and Ubuntu. Is there anymore documentation that you could possibly link to or provide that will make the installation of Debian and Ubuntu a bit simpler?

I found this about Mer: http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Status - looks pretty useless to me.
