thanks for your work!

I have a little bit of a doubt though with one string. This is it:

Your system uses an ARM CPU that is older than the ARMv6 architecture.
All packages in karmic were built with optimizations requiring ARMv6
as the minimal architecture. It is not possible to upgrade your system
to a new Ubuntu release with this hardware.

Shouldn't the word "karmic" be avoided from UI element? (even if they
appear in ARM architecture...) Wouldn't it be better to substitute it
with a generic "Ubuntu" or with a generic "in this version of Ubuntu"?

Ciao.
