Hello,

I got me a n900 to toy around and get used to maemo.
Would like to start out with flashing the device. I'd like to know whether you'd suggest a linux/maemo newb to start out with CSSU (stable or test?) or rather go with the last nokia vanilla version? Found everything I'll need to know here I guess:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware

I'd like to use swipe and zoom gestures that seem not to be present by default.

As maemo.nokia.com redirects to http://swipe.nokia.com/ and http://swipe.nokia.com/applications/ is also n9 exclusive - ovi store seems to be the easiest way to get programs for starters?!

Thanks!
