How to get the Ubuntu distribution

Added requirement for qemu-kvm-extras and example of build time
=== Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) ===
In order to get a copy of a ARM ubuntu root file system, you will need to install qemu and a recent version of debootstrap and the qemu package. On some systems you may also need the qemu-kvm-extras package to run the ARM emulation.
$ sudo apt-get install qemu
$ sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm-extras
$ wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.12_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.12_all.deb
--seed lxde,gdm
After few This step can take a long time. For example, building ubuntu-desktop on a Celeron 1.6GHz laptop takes approximately 10 hours. When it is finished, a file named armel-rootfs-[date].tgz will be in your working directory.
Next, mount your SD card ext3 partition (/media/rootfs) and untar the rootfs
