Yep, the instructions work and thank-you as I use LXDE/Mer on my N810 as well! For some reason on the N900 if you omit the --no-install-recommends and allow GDM to install it wouldn't boot, so I re-installed Mer and started again.

Too bad phone stuff wouldn't work (at least, I wouldn't think so)... until that gets sorted I'd still think running Easy Debian + LXDE would be a better solution.
Indeed, no phone stuff as yet, but sadly I find that I can't really use my N900 as a phone anyway, due to the poor signal reception I get with it (everywhere!). I have had to go back to using my N82 as my everyday phone and using the N900 purely as an Internet tablet, which is a real shame as I originally intended to replace my N810 and my N82...
