I just wish installing was simpler or automatic with a simple click like windows xp. Also wish there was more software for it.
katkat, don't worry, the N800 is (mostly) simpler than installing on Windows.

Most apps with the green arrow next to them can be installed with a simple click.

If you haven't seen it already, hopefully this tutorial will help:

If it doesn't, post what you're having trouble with and we can try and help.

As for more software, Linux has a lot of really cool stuff out there, it's just a question of waiting for it to be converted to a form that the N800 can use. Bear in mind the N800 as a software platform is only ten months old, it takes a while for these conversions to happen.
