[maemo-users] Getting root on OS2008

[From: Ed Bartosh]

Hi Marius,

This info looks like a good candidate for the next 'howdoibecomeroot' page on maemo wiki :).

Seriously we should probably have only one page for all 'become root' recipes.

Just one suggestion. '4. Open xterm' item in your list looks a bit confusing for me. 
I'd replace it with something like 'run your favorite ssh client on your desktop'.
