According to the RoBoard web, roboard can work Ubuntu 9.04.

It should work Ubuntu 10.10, too.

You can refer to the Ubuntu installation manual on the RoBoard web.

We are working with Ubuntu 10.04 in our Roboard RB-100, but as I remmber, we have tried to upgrade to 10.10. The problem we got was that Roboard RB-100 has a 486 processor and Ubuntu 10.10 needs a 586 processor. At least that was what a black boot screen said.

Hi,

you may apply the RoBoard Linux Kernal instead (download it from http://www.roboard.com/download_ml.htm).
