when you compare meego and webos (all the layers below the actual user interface), is there much difference? i want a system that's basically a linux kernel with components i know from the desktop (x, bluez, dbus, gstreamer... you know...). i would like to be able to run shell scripts, ssh into the phone, run qt-applications that i wrote myself,...

i don't really care if the top layers, applications and UI, are open or closed.

could webOS deliver this for me? (apart from the fact that i'll still have to find a place to order a device here...)
