For those of you who know about this, the image is still not up, this is a post to summarize the progress so far.
Basic Ubuntu install with only gnome-desktop installed (showing output of uname -a):
ubuntu-desktop metapackage installed, with the netbook-launcher running in the background:
Same as above, BT running (thanks giannoug) (also shows blue LED at 255, keyboard at 100 [brightness])
Boot time is about 1-2 minutes from power button to usable desktop, didn't really time it.
See what's working and what isn't here: http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Mohammad7410/Ubuntu
You'll need binaries from /lib/firmware/ for Wi-Fi and bluetooth, full tutorial when the image is up.
Image still not up, will compress it and upload it later, same goes for a video showing boot up (disappointed with the N86's cam tbh, can't record macro so the video will be VERY blurry)
Thanks to b-man for help w/ debootstrap

Depends on my network and how quick I can clean up binaries and tar it (as well as fix some other crap in it)
