I completely agree and I also purchased the n900 for the same reason.

However Linux isn't the cause of any of the over loading on the device... Maemo's daemons are, they aggressively leech the n900 like a spyware infested Windows machine.

All they need is improved throttling or even better, scheduled indexing at idle usage or overnight while charging.

Anyway, lets make this thread useful...

To get the n900 running like it should you need to kill indexing with Tracker Cfg, disable your repositories so Apt doesn't activate once you get internet connectivity, over clock to 1Ghz and add the swapiness config changes.
