I was trying to add my skype account on the N900 today and could not add the account. I did not find any option to add the same. After some googling and searching, I found that I need to re-flash my N900.

Startup animation and theme for Fedora 12 onwards.

Thu, 20 May 2010 16:43:31 +0000

Since the release of <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fedora" title="Fedora" rel="homepage" href="http://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora 12, fedora is using plymouth. Plymouth kicks in just after grub and before the Xserver starts.

Description:

Plymouth provides an attractive graphical <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/bootsplash" title="Bootsplash" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootsplash">boot animation in
place of the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/text_messaging" title="Text messaging" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging">text messages that normally get shown. Text
messages are instead redirected to a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/data_logger" title="Data logger" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_logger">log file for viewing
after boot.
