which version of linux would be more suitable to use with the n900?

thanks
I guess it all depends on what you mean by compatible, and how much Linux experience you have. My first thought is always Ubuntu, simply because it's easy to install and gives you a good default (though I'm not liking the 10.04 too much)

My next one would be Debian, but then I'd probably recommend you use Debian Squeeze instead of Lenny (Lenny being rather Old, and Debian Squeeze is very stable, though does have some small potential for breaking.)

I've been using Arch and loving it, but the N900 is Debian based, and learning Debian is really going to help you learn more of the inner workings of the N900 better.
