I just bought a Nokia 770.
I used the App Manager to install xterm from a repository. Works great.
Now, I want to install ssh. Looks like there are two choices: openssh and dropbear. It seems that there may be some additional functionality in openssh, but dropbear is much smaller.
Are there any really significant issues regarding which to choose?
I think I'd like to use dropbear, because of the smaller footprint.
But, how to go about installing it?
First, the link for the 770-specific package (at maemo.org) seems to be broken. I think I found the general source at sourceforge, but which package? The Debian version, presumably. Is that correct? And what are folks using, stable, test, or unstable? Then, since there is no repository, how does one proceed-- use 'apt-get' from a 770 xterm screen?
Thank you for any comments.
Regards,
DG
