After foolishly selling my N900 back in 2011 to help pay for my N9, I've decided to get back in the Maemo 5 game and seek out a well-loved, used N900 to play with. Found one, buying today.

Trouble is, as someone who never was a much of a hacker/coder/modder, I'm certain when the N900 turns up factory reset, I'll be at a loss as to how I had my old set up with some of the community's best tweaks and apps, etc.

Is there a link someone can point me to that will give me a quick low down on what I should be doing 2 years later?

Also, are the repositories still operational?

Many thanks guys. Looking forward to getting my thumbs under that qwerty again!

This is my n900 your buying. Enjoy!

Reluctant to let it go but I haven't used it in nearly a year. Best it goes to someone who can give it the attention it deserves.

And yes I'm regretting the sale already.

Ha! Small world. Great that it's coming from a TMO member - love that.

I will take very good care of her. And no, I won't make the mistake of selling this one on (but don't change your mind on selling it to me either!!)

Thanks mate. Actually after some Googling around, many things came back to memory! I also still have a folder of N900 stuff on my old Mac. Nice!
