Could you go into details of what you have already done, and what you have planned to do, I'm also kinda interested.


Anyways, I was reborn as a Linux user sometime in 1998 when my last Amiga broke. Times were hard but times were good too. I too think that distributions have gone too far to please everyone, and kinda miss the days when you actually had to know what you were doing (yeah, right ) and had to do some work to get your system up and going. As a reward you got os fully customized to and by yourself and the greatest feeling you've accomplished something. Luckily this is still possible, especially with great projects like arch linux and gentoo. That said, I am KDE user myself, I dont have anything against modern, windowsy way of utilising hardware when there is horsepower to do that. I love N900 as a hardware and too think Maemo needs some serious work to catch up, and "streamlining" it and in the same time getting rid of the closed parts should be one one goal in our honoring of the both device and os it comes with.

Sorry if this was too offtopic.
