Yes, but SheevaPlugs such as mine came running Ubuntu 9.xx, and there
is no later Ubuntu flavour that supports ARM5. Upgrading the kernel/OS
on a SheevaPlug is far from trivial; USB serial terminals,
specially-formatted SD cards, carefully-timed reboots and keypresses
are all in order. The documentation and process may have got slightly
easier in the last few months, but it's still not something I'd want
to do unless I had a pressing reason to do so and a couple of
distraction-free hours in which to do it.
