Ok so I did install easy debain on my n900 couple days ago thinking openoffice suported microsoft office publisher files but found out it doesnt.

Now I do see some icons show up in the menu area of the n900 liek one of them is the Iceweasel web b which I assume thats the firefox browser right? Anyways what is debain chroot icon for and do?

Also by having easy debain installed is it running in the baclground using up battery usage and how do I know its fully close? Thanks
