Thanks Ivan for kindly provided setup example on his Nokia n900 based on Maemo

Maemo is a software platform developed by maemo community for smartphones and Internet tablets. It is based on the Debian Linux distribution. Maemo is mostly based on open source code, and has been developed by Maemo Devices within Nokia in collaboration with many open source projects such as the Linux kernel, Debian, and GNOME. Maemo is based on Debian GNU/Linux and draws much of its GUI, frameworks, and libraries from the GNOME project. It uses the Matchbox window manager, and the GTK-based Hildon as its GUI and application framework.
