Nicholas, nice find!! I am familiar with booting devices via U-Boot, but not with Grub. The tutorial is what I was hoping for, thank you!
As an embedded-systems developer, I do most of my work on the command line. Canonical is moving to fully support ARM and embedded systems, I understand, but maybe the Desktop line is now legacy? -AM PS - Centos 6.5 is very usable on a 2 GHz Pentium 4 mobile. Ubuntu less so, though disabling compiz, et al. should help. Either way, it has plenty of power as a server.
