I am not sure if Ubuntu runs on all the variants out there, but it seems pretty generic.
It would be a good idea to look at what Ubuntu has done which seems very successful.
I ran Ansgstrom and Ubuntu on the Beagleboard C3 before I got the XM.
I started on the Beagleboard XM with ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img.gz and do online updates regularly.
I'm not 100% sure of cross compilers either as about the only things I've successfully built are ARM kernels. Where I saw failures, it was due to missing compatible libraries. I got an error and I just gave up and never got back to looking closer to see if it was solvable.
Where Ubuntu has trumped the Angstrom distro is in the vast range of apps and utilities available from Ubuntu repositories, so building on native ARM is as easy as building on x86 ... ignoring speed.

Sid.

In other words, what box do I need to go buy in order to help make thisThis is exactly the question I have ;) you know, all is nice in theory
possible? :)
with emulation and cross-compilers but in reality it doesn't quite work
that way... so would be really nice to have real hardware handy,
preferable something with more than 1GB RAM otherwise is gonna be painful...
People have told me that cross compilers do work well but I'm not buying
that assertion really ;-P
