THAT was a darn good reason!

Heyyy... idea of potential option of buyers flavour of os preinstalled is a nice one...! I think putting disclaimer..(esp. considering anyone can flash and erase the preinstalled os) that though you (the makers of the neo ..) can offer the os...BUT maintaining the os or changing it is completely the buyers responsibility and your liability begins and ends right there.
I'm sure whatever the os is...considering it will be a flashable device (naturally)...such disclaimers will be in bold type. ...ALLL over the box and wrapping ...

Better having potential options than the device blank or with only 1 os option ...
esp. debian
don't get me wrong here...I love debian...
it's great...personally I use it all the time...I just think it may be too highbrow for the noob...nor smartphone consumer-ready friendly...for those buyers who just want it to start up and run it out of the box....you know...person on the go...busy busy.....2 1/2 kids,wife,job,golf,jetski,boat in the garage and RV in the driveway....just wants to turn on the new toy kinda-buyer...(the ones with the money ...that want this cool stuff and don't think twice about the amount.....they just don't "got" (code for "make" ) the time.....

Btw dos1 ....more wicked neo-vids with good tunes man!
...I'm hooked
....my visual cortex is hungry
