X-Terminal is the main reason why I chose N900 to be my next phone over other, symbian/winmo/android-powered, smartphones.

ROTFL... excellent, I *want* that program ! :-)

You could probably learn neurosurgery using Google. I'd prefer users come here or a Maemo site than, say, Engadget or some supposed expert. We're the official knowledge base. Let's fulfill that by sharing it more easily.

I didn't know what the terminal was a few months ago. Now I use it daily on my PC, and can't wait to use it on my N900. I've found I do in fact need it, or at least want it REALLLY REALLLLLY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

Bring me my s**t, Amazon.com! I'm losing patience. Don't even feel like blogging lately. Low morale by delay...

Without a wife he won't be able to prepare the fish for dinner. Nevermind the monkey tricks he must learn to get married to a wife. Teach the wife to cook, and the man to hunt. Both win. IOW, specialization is a good thing yet an individual cannot specialize in everything. Using Nokia N900 and Maemo 5 won't require X-Terminal. It is for those who prefer or require access to the device 'under the hood'.

You wrote that? There are already tons of console-based anagram finder applications available. Used them for ages even on obscure platforms and architectures such as BSDi and SPARC so I'm pretty sure they compile on Linux/ARM too. Their usability differs depending on why anagram is required, how advanced the flags/options are (e.g. filtering), dictionaries used, and resources of host OS (good dictionary requires more resources hence using over SSH may be desired). AFAIK there is none which uses a ncurses or X frontend but with bit of flag fiddling served me well through ages, and a bit of scripting (e.g. awk) does the rest. Could be put in sh script, contain simple dialog, and export result in GUI hence user would never notice console. The power of UNIX nowadays is having the choice between your preferred client. Local, remote, whatever architecure or UNIX flavor, X11 (Qt, GTK, native, Maemoized or not, blah) or console (cli, ncurses) or remote protocol (http, webdav, ssl+whatever). (Microsoft realized that, hence Monad.

I hope you're wrong, or I'm doomed. I am a control freak, and I think I can learn and do anything. Maybe I'm special.

By the way, I already cook and hunt. I just want someone to teach her to shut the heck up! LOL

Ok so i pressed cont+shift+X and up popped this infamous X terminal. I am new to linux so please can someone tell me a list of commands i can enter so i can have some fun with it. I havnt yet enabled root so dont think i can do damage anyway. So far I tried 'top' which gives performance and I need to know how to get back to the prompt.
I hope I dont get flamed like the op, im just curious.
