To install .deb files..

First you download it to the n900.. doesn't matter where. Then you use "dpkg -i" to install it.

(you need to install wget if you haven't.. no need for a browser)

Code:
1. sudo gainroot
2. cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/
3. wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t....2.0-2_all.deb  
4. dpkg -i moodlight_0.2.0-2_all.deb
Edit: And yes.. the terminal is a lot better in many sircumstances. You have another app manager too Faster Application Manager.. It is still in extras-devel though.
