What is the best paint program?
I know that there is GIMP but Easy Debian has me all confused.
I think there was talk of something else but I'm not having any luck finding it.

Last question. 
Does anyone have the debs or whatever for pidgin-n800-led-plugin?
I think Qwerty's site is dead but I would still like to somehow install this.

I don't have the .deb but here is the compiled .so plugin file.
Just put it in /home/user/.purple/plugins/pidgin-n800-led-plugin.so
Then Pidgin>Tools>Plugins>[x] N800 LED plugin>Configure Plugin
I'm not sure if you need any other files.
I've been having major file hosting problems so I'm just going to attach the file, sorry. Just download the .zip and extract the file.
P.S. Addison, yes I have been extremely overwhelmed as of late. I also did a reinstall of Fedora and forgot to add my gtalk account to pidgin. Sorry.

BTW, I just tried MyPaint for the first time (I had to get it the deb from the author's website -- I couldn't find it on Maemo downloads), and it seems like it is not sensitive enough. I have a screen protector on my N810, and I was trying to draw & it wasn't displaying anything. Finally, I pressed harder & it displayed what I drew. It seemed like I had to press too hard. It seemed slow, also.

Hey buurmas!
Yeah, in MyPaint, if you go to Dialogs and then Settings you can change the brush sensitivity.
It's actually quite the cool little app, and despite not having any functional or creative talent, I've made some nice abstract paintings while watching TV or being bored.
Also, if there's any chance you find a way to symlink this .deb
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=27
so that we can run most of it off of our memory card, would you mind posting your solution?

My main use for the N800 is Skype when I'm travelling. I've been tempted by some of the low-cost android tablets on the market, but it appears that there is a bug that prevents Skype from working on them. (The Skype forum is full of these complaints.) So until this problem is fixed, my N800 fills the bill as my 'phone' on the road.

Try going to Dialog -> Brush settings.
I also remember having some issues at first but it's definitely worth it after finding the correct settings that will work on your tablet.
Also, pick up some Nintendo DS stylii with that have a clear plastic end, not like the hard ones that first came out for the system.
They work better than the one given with the N800.
