Just yesterday I discovered a cute genealogy program (gramps), installed that on my Linux laptop and found that it is completely functional on the N900 too (though only working with debbie, not under LXDE, where it simply does not start!?).

As to OO3.2, I think it's just a question of time, but I'm already more than happy with the present version. So no need for Documents To Go to be able to inspect office files somebody sends to your device. That's all I actually need.
Yes, it is a matter of time. Red hat 5.5 offers OO 3.1.1
usually Centos follows suit after a couple of months. Hopefully
Debian will do the same for armel.

Also I agree that having OO beats Docs to Go. Version OO
that easy debian sets you up with is 3.0 so you are in good shape
if you do not need to make equations (It will show the equations
from an OO file made elsewhere. Just can't create them).

No, Openoffice in Easy Debian is 3.1.1 - it's only 3.2 which will be a matter of time. What about starting a thread "Speculations about a possible release date for a new Easy Debian image with OO 3.2" ...

As I said, I'm not using OO so much myself. But I have a complete LATeX installation on my N900 I'm just waiting for wireless beamers, then I could give my physics talks with the N900 and could leave my laptop at home for good.

@qole, regarding the "su -" problem I think the problem of switching over to this new behavior in a new devel version of easy-deb-chroot would be alleviated by having
Code:
#Messy hack to make tap-and-hold work with GTK apps.
export GTK_MODULES=libgtkstylus.so
#Some OpenOffice environment variables
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk"
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"
export SAL_NOOPENGL="true"
export OOO_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
export SAL_DISABLE_SYNCHRONOUS_PRINTER_DETECTION="true"
#export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS="true"
appended to $CHROOT/etc/profile in a new image v3c. It does not hurt to have these variables set both in /sbin/debian and the image, so it would be good for the present easy-deb-chroot version and future ones for which I would encourage you to replace "sudo /sbin/debian su ..." by "sudo /sbin/debian su - ..." in /usr/bin/debbie (twice).

that seems to require wine, which is not available for the armel architecture. What about kompozer? That exists for squeeze, meaning you would have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list (in Debian chroot!) and activate the squeeze distribution.

EDIT: bluefish, which is mentioned in your link, is available already under lenny, so you could try that first.

Hi Rebhana, can you tell me how or a good place to find out?I tried getting Kompozer through synaptic (dev and data).Looking at it now Kompozer is really what I need. Are you saying whilst in the LXDE (Debian chroot¿) I can activate the squeeze distribution? In synaptic?

We don't have Wine, because we don't have an x86 chip, but we have things like KompoZer, BlueFish, or maybe even the non-GTK Quanta. Perhaps one of those would work?

EDIT: You guys beat me to it. Yeah, you have to activate squeeze (remove the #) in /etc/apt/sources.list and then run apt-get update.

You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list in Debian chroot for getting squeeze. Launch the Deb chroot window (with the red spiral) and edit that file, and uncomment (remove the #) in the line referring to squeeze. Then you should be able to install with synaptic, after updating (see http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian#In...g_Applications).

EDIT: Now you beat me to it, qole. Anyway, since the master is there, I can go to bed.
