Greetings, all. I'm really considering a Nokia N800 this Christmas ($200 with a $30 bt keyboard is a good deal) as a supplement to/mini version of my laptop (currently running Ubuntu, I'm a Linux guy). I have 2 questions: first, I know this runs heavily modified Debian, but I also know that the terminal emulator isn't standard. To what degree will I be able to write scripts, use the UNIX filesystem, use UNIX utilities, execute scripts,etc. Will this be more like Ubuntu or OSX? Second question: Can any of the word processors ported to this device read/write MS Word docs. Or Excel files, or even powerpoint files? I can live without this functionality (it can certainly store these files, even if it can't open them), but it would be nice if provided by some third-party apps. Thanks, guys.
