Yes, MeeGo will (in theory) be geek-friendly like Maemo. It will have an X Terminal, and all sorts of stuff...
Not so fast. Current releases of MeeGo (handset) actually do not have X-term in the default apps list. You have to mess with it in a chroot first to gain access or SSH in to it.

Now.. There is a current (unless it was fixed in a more recent build than I tried) problem with the X-term that's its actually unusable anyway.. so: I'm not sure if the lack of X-term is left out by "design" (making the device "user" friendly).. or if they just moved it out until they get it working properly.

Either way.. the lack of the X-term being in the apps was/is somewhat disconcerting.
