Hello everyone!

I am a new member to the maemo.org community and by taking a quick look around the site, I realized the great help that the community offers to everyone in need and I am really impressed.

My name is Elias and I am from Athens, Greece.
Linux user and amateur C programmer for over five years, Ubuntu was my first distribution and even though I "migrated" to many others, I ended up with Ubuntu again.
Ubuntu Forums was a great help for me during my first steps to the world of Linux, by guiding me through my troubles.
A year ago, I got inspired by the vast contribution of the Ubuntu community and I decided to get involved myself, by helping people with their problems, just like some other people helped me with mine when I started.
So, I registered to the Ubuntu-gr community Forum and I've been an active member ever since.

I recently acquired a Nokia N900 phone and I am trying to figure it out. Sadly, I'm doing a bad job!
I didn't keep in touch with the technology news and updates and I feel like a newbie regarding mobile phone technology. But, I know maemo is based on the Linux kernel and with your help, I hope to find my way with it soon.
If that happens, I am looking forward to get involved and become a useful and an active member of this community too.
But I think I have a long way for that yet.

Long introduction...
I opened this thread to ask you for any advice or suggestions for a new maemo user like me.
Are there any repositories I should add besides the one of the community's that I've already added?
I am also very interested in remote connection between my Ubuntu desktop and my N900 (and vice versa), so that I will be able to administrate the one device using the other. I tried to do it via VNC but I failed. Sounds easy though.
I have those, and many other questions but one thing at a time.

Generally, any suggestion or advice would be very useful for me.

Thank you in advance for your help.
