Sooo... what's a distro? English is not even my mother language, so all those specific terms make me feel like I'm reading a whole new language...

An alternate operating system.....or fake it with a desktop enviroment that behaves like the distro....you can run Debian...Mer (works best on the n810)...KDE...Palm os...a bunch of Android alternatives...Mac...Win ce too if memory serves...Arch on the n800...Backtrack/kali linux...I'm probably missing a some...It is fun to putter with them...great to experiment or if you are bored with what you got currently on your device. You can Multiboot to your hearts content.
For myself ...in the end...I always come back to Maemo....I have a big soft spot for it
anyway...you get the idea...Computer Operating Systems...Os's...distributions.... distros...
The n800 tho having no physic keyboard (a virtual on screen one instead...tho you can hook up bt keyboards or usb...and considering it has a separate power port ...not like the n900 where usb and power are integrated...it does simplify the process) does have 2 sd card slots...meaning you have much more flexibilty concerning multibooting ...you can put maemo on the internal card with chroot or full alt os's or you can easily separate them to have os's on both internal and external cards.....A GREAT feature.
More flexible in that regard than the n810....but the n810has it's own great pluses ....just in a different way....even though both n800 and n810 run the same operating system.
Now I'm also not going to sugar-coat it and say it is as good as a quad core smartphone......but the more complexity to the system...the more taxing it is...the more likely it will breakdown...my n8x0 have been running fine daily since 2007-2008. Pretty durable suckers.
IMO it isn't about how slick or current something is...it's about durability...the diversity of what can be done with device...longevity of software...how open the software is and if I the user can develop on it or for it....ALL that means the world to me. Then you have a device that is timeless...that you aren't forced into the next model the company puts out because ...all support, programs , everything has been dropped for the device you like , JUST got used to, and now your screwwed and have to buy a whole new device...learn a whole new operating system and live with someone else's idea of what YOU need. Hence the n8x0 and n900 device line and sooooon the neo900 are the devices for me.
Anyway ...I gotta go putter
I'll be back in a few hours if there is anything question-wise I can (in my poor pool of knowledge) answer....I'll do so then ...

Alot of n900 progs were backported...quite a few of the n8x0 progs were redesigned for the n900...so you will see alot of familiar stuff
What do I do with my device personally? I may take the time tonite and do a very long post of what I personally do with my n8x0's.
Big list there..
Anyway....For the cost of my $30 consultation fee you () may as well buy a device and play and find out nokiabot
Back later....love to talk ...really ...when have you known me not to enjoy good conversation?
but..I gotta get back to workin on sumthin...
Later- Gater
