Hi,

Mulling over buying a N800, it is a choice between the N800 or a second hand sub-notebook that will run linux.

I cannot find any documentation on what basic linux commands are available in the standard build.

I am also interested to run a simple httpd that can server php pages and handle perl cgi scripts. Is this possible out the box ?

The standard Busybox supports the following:

Code:
Currently defined functions:
 [, [[, ash, awk, basename, busybox, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown,
 chroot, chvt, clear, cmp, cp, cut, date, dd, df, dirname, dmesg,
 du, echo, egrep, env, expr, false, fgrep, find, free, fuser, getty,
 grep, gunzip, gzip, head, hostname, id, ifconfig, ifdown, ifup,
 insmod, kill, killall, last, ln, logger, login, ls, lsmod, mkdir,

Additional Busybox binaries are available which support more commands and can be run alongside the existing busybox. Most other apps - xterm, ssh - can be installed from http://maemo.org/downloads

If you have the source code for your httpd server, set yourself up with a Maemo development environment (see maemo.org), cross compile the code and you're almost there.

the nginx http server/proxy is packaged up as well and available from a repository.
