Hi,
First, please allow me to remind you that installing .debs directly is not recommended. You do not know what the source is, and as a general rule, installing a .deb is like running an unknown executable on Windows; only do it when you trust the source.
That being said, you can open the X-Terminal, and type:
dpkg -i <filename>.
For example:
dpkg -i /home/user/Downloads/example.deb
Hope this helps,
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilaged
so, what is the solution to this?
Also, it would be nice if someone can link me to a guide to how to use x terminal.

anybody figurered out how to access "Documents" from the terminal? What makes it more difficult is not being able to access "tilda" easily.

I don't know alot about linux. But when I am told that I can't run something I put sudo infront of the command to make it work.
Like "sudo dpkg -i <filename>" then it should ask for your password.
Not sure on the N900.

sudo gainroot
Now you can run
dpkg -i [program name]
