Jason, seriously. You can't automatically dismiss everything that has 
Ubuntu written on it.

First of all, this guy and other ARM-based boards are pretty much a 
hobbyist/learning tool. You can go ahead and install whatever Linux (or 
other OS) you want on it.

Second, the ARM version of Ubuntu is designed for low-powered, low-memory 
ARM machines. By neccesity it is stripped down a lot and not at all 
inclusive of the bloat you hate so much on desktop ubuntu.

This thing will do just fine.
