i'm talking about the internet tablets - they don't run symbian, they run linux

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N800

"The operating system, Internet Tablet OS 2007 (also known as Maemo),
is a modified version of Debian GNU/Linux (running Linux 2.6.18)"

So, are there any issues with running software for this OS under OM?
is it just a matter of installing the correct dependencies - hildon,
etc?
