Thanks to those who answer the questions!
4. haven't used it, but i assume (and you know what can happen when one does that, right?), that you can save the torrent on the internal or external mmc card...

5. depends on what you install, how you use your n800, and how you set up your n800... i'm pretty 'stock,' and just use the available 'internal' storage, but have not run out of room even after installing more than 100 different additional programs (there are many commands installed you may not be aware of unless you use the command line)

6. that's an advanced subject.... i'll let others chime in here with pointers to wikis, howto, or other threads...

- you don't say how experienced you are with Linux... if you're a long-time Linux user, or someone adept at using a *nix, you won't have any trouble...

- the n800 is a dream come true for *nix hackers... (part of this attraction is the easy-to-use SDK - not quite a 'userland' install, but easy to set up nonetheless)...

have a lot of fun
