   So far there are only images for Arch, Debian and Fedora 14. The    
   processor is an ARM architecture which Ubuntu stopped supporting about    
   9.04. The result is that getting Ubuntu running on it is not going to be    
   a trivial exercise, as none of the existing or planned Ubuntu software    
   is guaranteed to run on it without at least re-compilation for the    
   correct version of the ARM architecture. For all the Ubuntu software    
   which came from Debian, it is quite likely that the Debian original will    
   work.   
      
   For now, I'm satisfying myself with running Raspberry Pi distributions    
   in a virtual machine.
