There's things like df -h to see what % 'disk' space you have left, for example. Here's a link to a pretty comprehensive list of busybox commands. (Be careful! Some may bite!) Here's another to some basic commands.

It might not, in fact. Not that I'd like to risk it...

you can make playlists quickly with xterm...
with xterm navigate to a directory containing mp3's, then type:
ls *.mp3 > my_playlist.m3u
)

In case you have files in a bunch of subdirs, you may want to use the "find" command to generate a playlist. Haven't tested it out but something like this might work...
find . -iname *.mp3 > my_playlist.m3u
BTW, that "rm -rf" post was horrible. You should be ashamed.

I'm new to the N900 and anything "Linux".
I read in the battery analysis forum of someone who checked their battery charge % through X Terminal. Although there maybe an app for that, I want to know how I can take advantage of X Terminal for other quick instant-gratification fun
