I've installed the new Power Kernal now as well as you suggested! it's 2.6.28.10-power50.

Any suggestions on where to find the wallpapers I've downloaded or how to install the themes with the papers? Also do you know of a repository with some great panoramic wallpapers that flow either animated or real? Thank you!

BTW any other must have apps would be great. My N900 is working super fast and smooth now thanks to you all! I don't see the need to overclock just yet although it is tempting! I am a newbie and would love to learn all these great linux commands. I once installed MAC OS through a linux program on my PC and I had to learn a lot of the Sudo commands, etc... to get it running and install drivers, etc...
