So what if I wont be able to upgrade my N900 to Meego. There will be plenty more to chose from. Linux and open source is just better.

you may get them right but question is would it be fully functional on n900?

Linaro isn't actually going to be a distribution as such, see the correction on the article you cite.

Also, MeeGo *will* be installable on the N900. It already is. It just won't be *commercially* supported, meaning you *won't* be able to ring Nokia Care up if you have problems with it, and nor will you be able to upgrade over the air. (But given it's a different OS, OTA upgrading wasn't going to happen anyway :P)
