I can definitely sympathize with the novice feeling. I'm not a linux pro by any stretch of the imagination. I think the best sort of advice I can give at this point would be to just try some new things that you might think are difficult. Getting a handle on the command line is important. Once you have even a light grasp there, everything else will just sort of start falling into place. I hope you enjoy your N900 otherwise, though. It's an impressive piece of hardware.

does this only work in one direction or also bidirectional?
ie: can you control your pc with the n900 as well?
i have a program for my nintendo ds, where i see the desktop of my computer and i'm able to use the touchscreen just like a mouse.
that would be a nice thing to do with the n900 (given that the desktop refreshes in a relativily fast framerate. the ds-program refreshes the desktop on the ds every 2 seconds or so on the fastest setting)

I definitely want to remote control my n900, from my PC desktop, just how mymobiler works.
I dont know how to instal SSH, i am just a novice and wouldnt be able to start
For some reason, i cant VNC from my phone to laptop, so if I cant even do that, I defintely dont know how to do vice-versa; which is what I am after.
I just hope someone creates a mymobiler quality type tool, for a novice like me to install
