Hello Everyone!
I've been contemplating on getting the N810 for a while now, and finally took the jump today. I've been using Linux since I learned how to type, and the fact N810 uses Linux was decisive for me.
I have a bunch of questions regarding the Linux setup on the device, but I will probably be able to figure it out myself when I have some spare time.
For now, I just have to get up and running with N810 as quickly as possible since I have a lot of other work to do at the moment. I am planning on using a BT keyboard (any suggestions for which one?) with my N810, mostly for coding. My plan is to SSH from the N810 into my home server and do coding on the server from anywhere I might be. However, I can't figure out how to configure xterm properly. I would like to invert the colors, to have a black background and white foreground, and have my custom colorful prompt (defined in .bashrc).
So basically, I would be eternally grateful if someone could give me a quick hint on how to get a black BG and white FG in xterm, whether custom prompt which uses colors (defined in .bashrc on standard linux systems) will work and where I have to stick the .bashrc on the N810. Also, is it possible to get syntax colors in VIM running on N810 under xterm?
Thanks a lot, if I can figure this out, I can start seriously using this wonderful tablet.
