From what I've heard: a good number of the command line apps should work.
From experience with a few (wget for example) You have to unpack them with dpkg -x, and then hunt down any missing dependencies.

FSVO "install". Normal Debian/ARM debs can be unpacked into an appropriate location using dpkg -x somepkg.deb /var/lib/install or - as root - /.
It won't handle dependencies or allow particularly easy uninstall however.

With all this manual poking around, though, you should always install as user (not root) into /var/lib/install.

You can also use the slackware packages for ARM processors. I'm using them for a lot of commands (true grep, awk, sed, dig, ntp, whois, etc). They all work.

From something lon said in the ntp thread, I have this question.
In general, can we just install arm .debs?
If not in general, can we install some?
Some experimentation may be due...
