This thread http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=31
is an example of how to setup a chroot for beginners.
It would be nice if we could get qole involved in the project.
He knows a lot about how to adapt Debian to run on the N900.

I don't know whether the project became Mer, EasyDebian or died.
some other ideas for a name: DebiaN900, Debian900 or Debian/900

We decided Maemo had a reason to be like it was, and then Mer was born.

My experience is that Debian Lenny packages seem more compatible with their Maemo counterparts, such as gconf and pulseaudio. You'll have a better chance at success if you start with Lenny and selectively upgrade to Squeeze until something breaks...

Why this should result into increased battery usage and/or incompatibilities? It looks like a packaging question for me...

http://mer-project.blogspot.com/2010...redshirts.html has some comments that might be of interest to you people, in order to not duplicate work. You can tag on, but I think it's fair to warn you that for N900, it's better to contribute to MeeGo. For N8x0, we're doing Mer^2 out of need.
