We provide 6 Ubuntu based images that we can consider as profiles. It's easy to customize or build your own image that will better fit your use case or requirements. In our case, we use live-build [1] which allow to put your customization on top of our images [2] or even from scratch. Tom has written a wiki page [3]. The page needs some update (I'm willing to help) to add upcoming armhf images and latest live-build with cross support. It is worth mentioning that you need a Debian/Ubuntu host (distribution supporting live-build). Anyway, if there's an audience for customizing Linaro Ubuntu images, we can provide tutorials.
