On: Debian Jessie on Raspberry Pi 2

Nice, although I'd rather have a mini Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Ubuntu on ARMv7 is great, and I'd like a minimal distribution to get started.

There's Snappy Core, but to be honest I don't want to run that on a Pi just yet.

If you don't want the snappy part, it seems you can use a straight Ubuntu Core (not necessarily the Snappy Ubuntu Core).

The alpha image I downloaded lacked apt-get (given it was snappy). Anyone know of a "normal" one?
