I just bought an N770 yesterday and sold it subsequently today and bought a new N800.
I have an FC6 Linux desktop and an XP Pro notebook (with vmware), my question is which Linux Distro should I install on the vmware to communicate and transfer files to my n800? I plan to do some heavy duty tweaking to the n800 and as well as some development so any input will be appreciated.
