Not real fast, even if overclocked. Will have a look tomorrow how to get it up in maemo.

I was amongst few first "big" things that i did with my N900 (first week of having it, if i remember correctly), and that was my first linux device - Yea, despite my love to open source idea & practice, i wasn't involved in linux, cause i never was motivated enough to start learning it. shame on me. Sure, i was able to do some thing on it, but i was FAR away from even linux power user, not to mention gurus.

So, what i want to say by this post is that reformatting using backupmenu + aptosid (or whatever you want) on virtual machine/ live Cd / whatever again is easy simple and straightforward. You can also delete/resize swap partition if You use swap on microSD and do similiar things in one run.

I created other partitions - one for Easy debian (NOT as image file on partition, extracted) and another for nitdroid - obviously everything is running much faster.

So, dedicated partition for backtrack would also improve performance. Also, i agree with qole that there is no need for this in fact - you can built Your own in ED - but the same apply for x86 version of backtrack, still many people - including me - was using it for some time, cause it packs many things and save work for You. Even Easy debian incorporate some cool aps in base image - GIMP etc. no matter than user can install it, if he want So pentests aren't as useless as some thought.

another thing - i strongly DISCOURAGE regular users from running 32GB rotfs. At least whole topic about this - it is mainly targeted at developers who wan't to test their aplications without optifing first, and if You use 32GB rotfs in daily basics, you will encounter big performance drop.
