if trying to find a distro which could be ...flexible...and feasible for the n900...
and solyd was too much...
my best suggestion would be antix .
Excellent distro...
a rolling systemd-less debian distro...
got it on 2 harddrives for my laps..
one...my fav convertible ..runs like a dream...
the other a laptop predating 2000 ...with about 256mbs of ram...and it runs like a dream...
it needs very little ram..
I think it'll run on 64 mbs of ram actually..
very very clean , smooth running and flexible distro...
absolutely no work has been done for arm at all...
so it is an open book to be used and abused..
