I hope some day there will be an official Maemo repository like that for Debian, plenty of apps and no need to download from almost twenty repositories...<br><br>Because <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/">http://repository.maemo.org/
</a> has got only the basic to work with the Tablet, but if you need more apps, then you must pick from here and there and it's a caos... <br><br>For me it's ok... I've got a complete sources.list (with up to 42 repos, I'm lucky that they don't break my system) and there I can download almost any app that exists for my 770 (AbiWord, Octave, Synaptic, Gnumeric, Lybniz, MPlayer... ). But I'd prefer it all centralized...

You can install this way for applications that are offered as straight<br>.debs or you can choose to manually browse the repositories in the<br>browser to download. The time it would take though to download would<br>be the same as you'd be needing for a straight install so I'm not sure
<br>how much time you are really saving. The advantage of the repository<br>installer file is that you can see updates from the apps you've<br>installed and if there are additional library files required they<br>usually get installed at the same time preventing (many) errors.
