I happen to go a whole day Hackputer session at Seneca College (yrok University, Toronto) - a session devoted to Raspberry Pi. Here are a few things that came to light. Please remember that I am not a Linux person.
1. The processor in Raspberry Pi is a level 6 ARM. Ubuntu is designed to support the level 7 processor inherent in most of the current tablets. 2. Debian is supportive of Level 2 onwards ARM processors. 3. They at Seneca College are working on a Fedora based release Linux for Raspbian PI
4. A Debian based release of Linux known as "Raspbian" works very well on Raspberry Pi.

Overclocked Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS is lightning quick.
In a second stream, CUDA on Nvidia processor for development is highly recommended and praised.
