Hello, I also started recently, so I can recommend some pages to read:

https://dt.iki.fi/nokia-n900-resurrect

https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware

Those two pages must be read in their entirety.

I guess you want to update the system first. Check if you have the latest version of Maemo 5: 21.2011.38-1

I recommend you also read this topic in which they helped me a lot, it is practically a guide for ultra novices:

And for root in the command terminal:
