5 Originally, I thought that it'd be cool to be able to install/uninstall/update multiple distros on it. NOOBS can do this but I believe you can't do it while retaining existing data whenever you add/remove OSes / distributions. Instead, I became aware of (and chose) Berryboot instead. It provided a decent boot menu to select what you wanted to boot from while enabling you to add/remove new items without affecting existed installed ones. It did this by not giving each item it's own partition - instead, it stored the initial download as a filesystem image and used AUFS to persist any user-made changes to the downloaded system. 6 Originally, I thought that it'd be cool to be able to install/uninstall/update multiple distros on it.
