Hi Jack, just as (totally off topic) ubuntu decided not to support the Raspberry Pi which, for schools etc. is going from strength to strength [1]. I'm never too sure how often Canonical wish to encourage, then drop, architectures. I certainly felt it when the 'arm' team abandoned pc100, and then released it and blamed the distro I was then involved in. I resigned.
