Which will you dual boot with your N900 . Meego 1.1 or Android ?
 
I just bought a External memory card for my N900. So now I am going to boot one of them. Which one do you think Is worth booting?

Since you asked which one, I'm going out on a limb and say you are not going to be developing for MeeGo, are you? So, simple answer is, stay away from it. Play with NITDroid. Plenty to discover there.

At the moment MeeGo for handsets is nowhere near end-user friendly, it is meant for devels only. You could spend hours scrambling through the installation instructions just to end up asking later why the UI is sluggish and nothing really works.

Instead, try NITDroid if you want gaming fun/Android exposure, or, to satisfy the inner-Linuxist in you, try Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...292#post889292 from chroot, or, dualbooting Ubuntu http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58083&page=6

ive tried nitdroid but...
none for now, since none of them are actually finished
if theyre both finished, probably android coz of so much apps and stuff.

both!
then wipe your memory card and use it for storage as neither are of any real use

One thing i have wondered for a while, can you dual boot NITDroid while still have and overclopcked maemo 5 with titan power kernel?

Nitdroid is some fun for awhile. Something like EasyDebian is the best alternate environment. I've tried them all and am sticking with maemo.

Please don't mock NITdroid if you haven't tried the current version of it.

I would recommend NITdroid because it can run those fancy android apps/games/emulators perfectly.

Neither... for now. NITDroid has my attention, but I have a full-fledged Android phone already.

I say if your storage card fits, both. Since you're doing it to see how you feel about them, you might as well. MeeGo might be completely slow, boring, and not exactly usable for anything practical yet, but it has just as much fun-to-try-it factor as NITDroid, in my opinion, so long as you don't expect too much.

NITDroid is probably better for long-term use right now, though, unless you're that excited about MeeGo development.
