None that I know of. But then again, I'm not an N800 user.

Easy Debian used to run on top of Maemo back when qole was still active, and I believe my Wheezy/armel image should run on the N800. [1]
I might even be able to provide a compatible Jessie/armel image if you tell me your kernel version.

But I must warn you, it's slow on the N900 and will be even slower on the N800. So I'd like you to test the Wheezy image first and see if you find it acceptable before I upload a Jessie image.
Both would be outdated by today's standards, but at least Debian still releases security fixes for Jessie (although I wouldn't trust that they actually work as intended on top of the even more outdated underlying Maemo system).
