It's debian based and these requirements are well within that of N800 and N810's specs.

I think I'll take some time (when I get it) to see if this distro is doable on the IT's. Anyone else interested?
If it's Debian based, you can probably with ease use most of the stuff from the Deblet project (the installer)

I had similar methods working with the Ubuntu armel port so.
You do have to remember that you need to port/recompile everything for armel though if it's not a distro that's easily based upon debian.
