Also, for the original poster, it depends on whether or not you want your apps pre-installed or whether you want the open pastures of being able to install a lot of your own. From what I've read, Easy Debian is in the first category.

For myself, I moved the Wayfarer maps off my n810's internal memory card & I'm itching to install more apps on it. But I need it to be as dummy proof as possible. (I still haven't successfully gotten my PC to properly recognize my n810 into my PC -- I need to figure that out first!) So I'm trying to decide between cloning OS2008 or installing Mer or something.
