Here's a cool trick. Currently, the maemo ssh server (sshd) doesn't handle X-Forwarding. If you ssh to your tablet and try to run a GUI app, it will simply appear on your tablet's screen. If you go into your chroot and issue
Code:
/etc/init.d/ssh stop
/etc/init.d/ssh start
the next time you ssh to your tablet you will go directly into your Debian chroot and you will be able to use X-Forwarding of all your GUI apps.

Does anyone know how to fix the "The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host has changed" error one gets when doing this? Is there a file I can copy from my OS2008 rootfs to the chroot to sync the keys?

EDIT: You can fix the problem of changed keys by copying the ssh keys from your main filesystem to your chroot (before you do the stop and start above). As root, with the chroot mounted (but not from within the chroot), do this:
Code:
cp /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* /debian/etc/ssh/
