Recently I managed to boot linux from a USB flash on my laptop,
not something impressive nor is it something new.

but it got me thinking,is there a possible way to use the N900 instead of the USB flash??
and boot linux *ubuntu or fedora etc.* just by connecting the N900 to the laptop via USB cable

you can put a live cd installed in your SD card

So when you plug your n900, you can select the sd card from the boot menś and voilą!

Its a live cd, with permanent storage for /home.
