I successfully installed debian on a Evo N800v, which i expect only
differs slightly. If that is so, you'll find that the installation is
quite straightforward, but you will need to bring in some packages
from sid (XFree-86). Besides that, you'll probably need the 2.4.20-bfs
kernel, if you want to use the built in NIC.

Hope this helps. Feel free to mail me directly, if you have further
questions.
