Re: [Staffslug] Nokia N900 Review -- was: Re: Monday's Meeting (05-July-2010)
Nah I don't Blog... seems too addictive :S
Might start one day when I've got too much time.
N900 has Terminal out of the box, either dropbear or openssh is easy to
install from the built in Application Manager, emacs is also available
as well as other usual terminal suspects like irssi and vim.
If I ever re-install my N900 I find it easier to use apt-get to install
all my applications again, saves all the clicking around... the only
thing you can't do this for (any more anyway) is Ovi stuff which has a
specially secured APT repository of some kind so you can to use the web
site.

Write it, blog it, link it. It'll help others make
a decision.
I've had my current phone for 5 years, and am thinking
of getting a replacement. It has to have terminal,
ssh and Emacs. I guess the N900 and HTC Desire are
the top of my shortlist (Palm Pre seems less flexible,
and the more portable Sony X10 Pro mini comes from a
company that removes your access to Linux at a later date
- see PS3).
I'm willing to hear arguments in favour of others (still
tempted to put GNU/Linux on my Psion 5MX, and link it
to current phone through IR, though :)
