Same with me! Four weeks ago by reading http://temporaryland.wordpress.com/2...p-on-the-n900/ I discovered Easy Debian, aka easy-deb-chroot, and the N900 doubled its usefulness for me. Without any danger of messing up the firmware, this gives a load of extremely powerful applications: openoffice, gimp, network printing through cups, evince, djview, latex, vpnc, firefox as alternative browser with java and flash, and more. Everything very stable and surprisingly usable on this little device.
