Original question
A good manual to use the phone in developer mode because if you're a newbie like me you don't now anything about the packages or repositories that are used.Thanks to the community you can find a lot(thanks for that) but a good manual would help a lot of people i think.

- Answer below.
For instructions to enable the developer mode, see HowTo: Access command line with root privileges.
Enable Glance screen - Be wary of power usage. Plus, Usual developer mode caveats apply.
It may sound a bit harsh, but as long as you don't know what and how you can do anything in developer mode. It should stay off because it's like playing with a loaded gun without knowing what you are doing (ok, ok you can't kill people but your phone ;)). Most things can be done without activating or needing developer mode.
But to get used how everything works, setup a little virtual machine (CentOS, Fedora) with linux and play around with it on your local pc. So you cannot damage your phone.
