There have been discussions about this on the O2 Joggler forum with
respect to running Ubuntu on the Joggler
(http://www.joggler.info/forum/).  This has been achieved with 9.10
but I believe that the poulsbo problems have so far prevented the use
of 10.04.  You might glean further information by having a look there.
