I just realized that I didn't give many details about the new version.

The primary difference is that I've updated the sources.list to the latest repositories. I've also added the debian-multimedia repository (where you can download an mplayer with no omapfb output and see why our maemo version is so much better) and the deblet repository.

So you should have an even bigger choice of applications to install. A vast panoply of applications. ;-)

Epiphany really is a nice browser. Not as fast as Tear, but it is fast enough, and it does Java. At least, it should, I haven't actually tested it yet.
