Same here, I have only ever seen one guy with a N900. I went over and asked him how he was finding it... It was stock, he looked at me a bit odd, 'it's just a phone', I finished my pint, and left lol

omg! f*ck normality! we should all put mobile OS hacking on the top of our life priorities!
And I have never met another N900 user. Everyone here use Iphones and have no idea what Linux is. they know Windows and iOS. wich in my eyes is really sad. 2011 helloo?
My best mate owns an Iphone 4, and when he is "bragging" about it I feel like putting a gun to my head. Everything he can do I can do better.

Please just point me in the direction of the best book to start with for the basics. I am total lost but am willing to learn.
P.S. I know the advanced users hate step for step basics explaining I just need a foothold.
Thanks

As for books, you need to find ones that specifically suit you. I wouldn't focus on books that specialize in Debian -- just Linux will do. It might be worthwhile to mosey on down to a bookstore (while they still exist) and see what Linux books tickle your fancy. A lot of people started with Running Linux.

Well out of the stock this little baby still has the most outstanding browser out on the market (if they'll be able to put it on meego with some 1.2-1.5 GHz dual core and Flash 10.2 I'm sold ).... but which seems not to be enough to be a best seller...most people don't seem to need this kind of mobile internet...
Trying everything that OP mentioned ? Well that's another story...and if any N900 buyer would have some time to spend he should definitely do it....why? ...errr...just for the fun and the talent of this baby called N900, he will appreciate it.....even if I still think ridiculous to use some gimp or open office in easy debian in everyday stuff... But doing it and trying it ?? Definitely YES!

Note for any terminal noobs: Typing "rm -rf /" as root (first post) will delete everything, including the OS. If you're wondering whether to try it, don't.

Can we start funding a project for 3G video call?

I soon began craving functionality and features found in basic Symbian S60 devices, nevermind Android or iOS UI goodness.
Restoring all my apps and performance tweeks also restored my conviction that N900 is still one of the most accomplished, powerful and under-exploited devices available.
A day as 'standard' is about all I could take!
