Prepare your card on a Linux-PC, may even run a Live-CD. Three partitions: First vfat, second swap, third ext3 (ext4, if you want, but remember your choice ) Install the prerequisites from the first post of the thread. I used u-boot from this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...40&postcount=1 , which needs some more configuration prior to a restart
Here is a short run-through: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=369 of the configuration #caveman uses. Note the part to change the ubuntu.item file for bootmenu/u-boot to point to the right partitions and file systems!
Final touches need to be done with the just-chroot.sh script inside the ubuntu-n900 to recreate /uInitrd and copy /boot/uImage to /uImage, as in this post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=347
Personal Note:
Please ask precise questions with your error messages quoted to have some background info, what problems you are facing in the install process.

if you wanna discuss the debian installation, please start a thread for that.
you can find details of the configuration i used as well as some tweaks here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=296
i did that a dozen times, so i am sure that config works for me :-)
