I would like to know if buying a Nokia N800 can be yet a good option for a geek needs. I already had a Nokia N800 in 2009
and i used it to be a multimedia player using the Canola App, monitoring the car performance using a OBD scanner with Carman
and the Maemo Mapper was a good software.

Now, my needs are to have a full Linux device that can be open enough to run Linux console apps like Node Interpreter (nodeJS),
Shell scripts, rsync commands and a lot of new ideas.

I will use rsync to sync Nokia N800 songs with my computer when this tablet is idle and the car is in the parking.

Here in Brazil, theft is always a fear that everybody feels. This small tablet is very cheap here. A second hand option
is less than 70 dollars, less than a good dinner here.

Today we can see a lot of better computers and tablets but the features in N800 seems to be good.

Are the repositories alive?
