Hum..concerning the Samba deb ...you'd be best off tracking down the creator and asking directly if you want to know exactly it's interaction.
Best suggestion.
As far as the n810 goes...yeah.. isn't it great?
and I don't believe there is such a thing as coming late to the n8x0 party.
We still have alot of people here...
Initially... new people come ask a few questions on the basics..
after that then they motor on and just quietly do their own thing ...
I think it's less a party and more of a social club nowadays...somewhat like these fellows...
