sorry but this is complete nonesense. maemo has turned everything upside down, and for the kernel: no, it is really not standard linux kernel. it differs significantly or why do you think is it still a 2.6.28 derivative? we are heading towards a 2.6.37.

It is a basic linux distro on a phone. It is the same as Android but you can jail break it and use it, something Google locked down to reduce the amount of messing that goes on inside. The kernel is the same as every other linux kernel, it is still just Linux and that puts it right back to the same basic logic as Android (upto 2.1 when they split off the kernel tree), Ubuntu, mandriva etc. What Nokia did was code it to a small black box, nothing more, and they didn't do that very well.
