I visited the Poky site, where I read that the OS should probably work on the N810. What is the worst thing that could happen if I tried it? (Note, I'm a newbie to Linux, and not a programmer).

Would having Poky on my device wipe everything out that's already on there? Would my map app work under Poky? Would Poky open up the possibility of much more software (office, chess, etc.)?

BTW, I have just ordered a book on Linux. Perhaps I won't be as ignorant in future posts

Thanks!
