gdm for the neo

[Thomas Gstädtner]

Well, I think that's pretty useless, because Qtopia uses FB instead of X11
und gdm is a X11-displaymanager.
Also it's not that easy, because all the "distros" you mentioned are
completely different in the whole softwarestack, so we're not talking about
switching between windowmanagers or so.
The only reasonable possibility is using a bootmanager, and that's already
there - you can use u-boot to boot whatever you want (whyever there should
be different operating systems on a mobile phone -.-).
There basically is the same reason like having multiple OS on a PC: none.
