Well, for hidden OS you need to have special bootloader (TrueCrypt bootloader
decides what OS to boot according to provided passphrase).
Also hidden disk/OS is limited to FAT (for outer volume) only, so I think
it is not possible to easily do this for Linux (where you need other
filesystem).
What is probably possible is to use Truecrypt boot loader and install
Linux with some bootloader hacks and boot to "hidden" Linux OS.
But it would be tricky to do that and it would be very fragile.
