"The ARM version of Ubuntu is scheduled for release in April 2009, and though netbooks seem the most obvious target for this architecture, a proportionally small number of netbooks use these processors at the moment. Other types of mobile devices, embedded systems, and internet appliances use this architecture as well (the ARM Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors are mentioned specifically as supported chips), and it will be interesting to see how a traditionally 'desktop-oriented' distribution works with them."
