Hi Marius, This info looks like a good candidate for the next 'howdoibecomeroot' page on maemo wiki :). Seriously we should probably have only one page for all 'become root' recipes. Just one suggestion. '4. Open xterm' item in your list looks a bit confusing for me. I'd replace it with something like 'run your favorite ssh client on your desktop'.
