Depends on just how much hacking / replacing you want to do, on those
platforms.  Wholesale replacement of Nokia's distribution with another
requires bringing in a few packages from Nokia and binary-only modules
for wifi (and bluetooth?).  It's all possible and the 'Mamona'
OpenEmbedded-based distribution has done it, it's just not always
pretty.
