Hey, do you think there will be something like Easy Debian on MeeGo? Maybe Easy Fedora?

It already IS 'mid-2010' - June 30th. And Android 2.2 is just trickling out. So I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict the rumors were wrong.

Easy Debian as Easy Debian should certainly be functional on MeeGo with some modifications to the scripts that qole uses.
If you want an Easy Fedora.. that's probably possible too using Fedora's ARM repositories.
But you don't need an "Easy Fedora" just because it's MeeGo and RPM based.. the Easy "XYZ" systems have nothing at all to do with their hosts.

Only better one I can think of is calculus.

The other thing is, as wmarone said above, if those vendors release their UI's - or other third parties develop their own UI's like wmarone suggested... those should also be packageable and installable on any MeeGo device you would think. So, even if you don't like the one the vendor gives you it's likely easily replaceable.
(How the whole dual mode/security posture will work into that I don't know..)
What should happen is that you could replace without major problems, the vendor UI for the generic UI we have just seen.

So if Nokia releases a MeeGo device with UI X, and LG releases a device with UI Y, but both Nokia and LG keep their UI's closed - then yes, not going to happen.
If Nokia releases MeeGo device with UI X, and releases UI X out to the open, then LG releases device UI Y... You should be able to replace UI Y with UI X. It's all MeeGo.
Supported or not is different.. will LG Support support you with a Nokia UI? Probably not as they won't know the UI to even help you. But it should be possible to load.
Now, replace LG and Nokia with Open Source developers/names (not companies, just random joe on the internet) - and the same thing should be possible. Say we end up with UI A B and C from the public for MeeGo then both devices from Nokia and LG should be able to load those 3 UI's as well should the user want.
But again.. the restrictions will come into how closed the devices themselves are; and how the security framework will work with MeeGo.

Is it possible to boot the preview off of a MicroSD?

If you buy a Nokia MeeGo, or LG MeeGo device, you won't see this interface. Maybe something similar, maybe not.
If you at all work with the community version, you'll probably use this initially or eventually someone will use a modified version. Who knows.
