As per the faq, alpha/beta releases are off-topic. I'd still use a computer for performance reasons(as well as ease of interfacing with hardware). You can ask for this to be reopened once 12.10 exits final beta. – ObsessiveSSOℲ Oct 6 '12 at 21:43

Welcome to askubuntu.com, as @ObsessiveSSOℲ said, please read the FAQ before asking questions. – Evandro Silva Oct 6 '12 at 21:44
@Arwyn If you want an answer to this question now (while Ubuntu 12.10 is still in beta), you can ask it on Launchpad Answers or Ubuntu Forums. See this question for more information on getting help with alpha and beta release of Ubuntu. – Eliah Kagan Oct 7 '12 at 2:51

I beleive the Raspberry Pi is probably underpowered for Ubuntu. Ubuntu is fast, but it's not exactly lightweight by Linux terms. Try a lighterweight distro or go for a full computer. Welcome to AskUbuntu.

It wouldn't work anyway - the Pi has an ARMv6 processor, development is still underway on v7 and Canonical have said they won't support v6 at all. – jackweirdy Nov 25 '12 at 2:18
