Not last minute, we've been working with IBM on this as part of 14.04. It's officially a supported platform for 5 years, here are the ISOs, you'll be able to get support for the entire thing from IBM and Canonical: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/trusty/release/ http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/trusty/release/ It's not mentioned on the website because the hardware is not publicly available yet.We have announced it on the blog though: http://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/04/28/the-ubuntu-scale-out-and-cloud-partner-ecosystem-expands-with-ibm-power8/ http://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/04/28/the-ubuntu-scale-out-a...
