Ubuntu Mobile Edition, when it's released, will need to be cross-compiled for ARM and then merged with the Nokia-specific bits of Maemo.

Ubuntu themselves are only planning on supporting x86 devices:

Boy, talk about missing the boat! Highly ironic, too.

The Intel MID devices, the Asus Eee PC, the Via Nanobook, the UMPCs - all of these are devices ideal for Ubuntu Mobile Edition.

There is a version of Slackware Linux, ARMed Slack, that is (obviously) compiled for ARM. There's so much proprietary hardware in the 770 that unless someone really gets to work on it, it won't be on your 770's screen any time soon. I started out with Slackware in 1995 or 1996 (I don't remember anymore). Let's just say there was a chance my monitor could've caught fire (very rare though) when I was probing it for appropriate scan rates. The good old days.

Anyway, there's really no option yet. Hopefully soon, I laid my 770 down for the past 6 months but have come back to it as a media device as opposed to an online one. It's been given new life with the addition of the Canola media suite.
