Hey Jebba,
I have installed the latest version -
mer-armel-n900-rootfs-v0.17testing10.tar.gz
It looks great. But is very slow. I am just not able to figure out the reason for it.
My microSD card is fairly fast (not the fastest).

It also is designed to run on older Nokia internet tablets, which is nice if you have one of those.

I installed Mer on my N900. But is painfully slow.
Has anybody else tried it. Would like to know your remarks/suggestions.
Btw, It looks very good. I got the wifi working and then installed some apps.
The geek in me loves to see a bootmenu similar to grub on desktops :-D
