Just want to note, a lot of people failed with OSes. It's a good start at learning how to program but it never gets finished or ever actually usable/practical. The Japanese community on the other hand...

Porting something as full featured as Ubuntu is a bad idea, especially on a VERY limited platform such as Petit Computer. Not even LXDE can save it. It's better to tailor it to the platform's limitations. Trackpads are a bad idea, full on touch navigation should be the way to go.

"Trackpads" are only good for shooter genre games, however.
