Hiya,

Not fully functional but the 'ash' shell is highly usable, and a decent subset of what you'd expect.

3) I saw a thread about FTP in this forum, does that mean that nothing exists on the N800 for easily sharing files between devices/PC's?
I use sftp for this. It's easy to install OpenSSH, and it's a breeze to transfer files either way. Wifey has a Windows PC with an SFTP GUI which makes it even easier (I normally just use command-line sftp on my Linux box).

I often use tar over ssh as well, as an example:

Code:
tar cf - thisfolder thatfolder thisfile | ssh root@nokia "(cd /media/mmc1 ; tar xf -)"
will transfer ./thisfolder, ./thatfolder and ./thisfile from your local Linux box to one of your Nokia's memory cards.
