Take a look at: http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2007/10/nokia-n800-finding-and-installing-new.html This tutorial is a bit outdated since it is pre-OS2008 but it is still quite relevant as the steps are still the same. They have some nice tutorials to do common tasks at Internet Tablet School. By far, the best method of installing software is through the Application Manager but the trick sometimes is setting up the right combination of application catalogues. Some of the third party ones don't play well with each other or are very OS specific. Stick with the maemo.org ones and you won't get into too much trouble. Like others have said OpenSSH is there in Maemo Extras and works very well on the N800. /Mike
