Re: [Staffslug] Nokia N900 Review -- was: Re: Monday's Meeting (05-July-2010)

Steven, Would you consider putting the review on the site? Dave - 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. - - Steven - - On 07/07/10 10:12, Richard Smedley wrote: -> Steven Maddox wrote: ->> That was just a response to an article :) ->> ->> A review would be at least be another 16 times that length haha! -> -> Write it, blog it, link it.
