It also is designed to run on older Nokia internet tablets, which is nice if you have one of those.
thats what i thought it was mainly, un upgrade for N770 N800 etc

N900 version is non-accelerated as explicitly stated. It is possible to accelerate with SGX libraries but we need to find a proper delivery system to do so. With SGX enabled, it would be as speedy as on Maemo5.

Why bother when it already has the Ubuntu armel repos?

Confirm! i was able to boot into the 0.17testing11 once, but is was not really useable... A really good message is, Netbeans is running in Easy Debian! At the moment i am trying to use XFCE or LXDE, but i haven't found the proper Xephyr command... May be some one knows a solution? Another question, where are some explanations about the rd-mode, which has to be enabled with flasher for booting into mer?

As of around 0.17testing11 you don't need to put the N900 into R&D mode to run Mer. :)

The keymap is whacked, but the fix is coming RSN.
