GeeXboX ARM
GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for
embedded devices and desktop computers. GeeXboX is not an application, it’s a fullfeatured
OS, that one can boot as a LiveCD, from a USB key, an SD/MMC card or install
on its regular HDD. The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single
goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to turn your computer into an HTPC.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/) was initially planned to be the default distribution, but
the current version of Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 onwards, not the ARMv6
architecture used by the Raspberry Pi's processor. Therefore Ubuntu does not work on
Raspberry Pi, and there is no further information about this changing in the near future.
A bug report on this subject was submitted to Ubuntu's bug tracker. The responses to that
bug include an unofficial viewpoint from a Canonical employee, outlining the amount of
work required to support ARMv6 (and therefore, potentially, Raspberry Pi). See Bug
