would it be possible to try get this running on N900 as angstrom os supports the omap3 board already. I'm sure some other people would be interested in this aswell.

thanks

this shouldn't be so difficult. you could build an image and test it in a chroot with easydebian. there are many howtos for using it for fedora and arch so why not trying angstrom. if it works try to install it on sd. make a thread or something and post your progress. if you run into trouble i'm sure there are people who will help. when you get it to work in a chroot i would test it on a sd card, too.

What does it provide over meego, nitdroid or ubuntu as an alternate os?

Maybe nothing but thats not the point. for me the adventure is just get it running.

any progress on this?

i found this tutorial for angstrom on sd but not sure if would work maybe someone could take a look at it?

Still requires uboot or similar. I was hoping to run it within easydebian

i got it to build successfully for omap3-pandora, last time i tried it failed.
so if anyone wants to have a look at the image heres the link for multiple hosts
