Please, re-upload this video: This is totally pointless, because first you're encouraging people to turn on the red pill.. you do NOT need to do that.. In fact you SHOULD'NT. If you want to install a deb file.. go to xterm, then type "dpkg -i filename.deb"

I found this way to be more straightforward since I am not familiar with using xterminal. If u like, please make a video reply and I'll post it here. Thanks in advance.

So.... you mean to say that (as a Linux user) I can use .deb files that I use on my computer on the N900. Red pill please. Now I gotta figure what programs I can and will run on it.

I don't use linux, but I needed to do this because a developer sent me .deb files to test out

I wonder what that Mac OS folder is doing in app catalogue))).

@RockyCherockee good eye! I think it was created after I synced the Nokia N900 with the Nokia Multimedia Transfer for Mac

This is a pointless video? Just click on your .deb file via file manager or filebox and it will install anyway!! Why this video has so many thumbs up? Its just confusing people
