Well first, "ubuntu-armhf" images are not supported by my repo on
rcn-ee.net, talk to "armhf.com".. That's why the above doesn't work..

Well, "Ubuntu 13.04" is so mature, it went EOL a year ago:

http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2014/01/28/ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail-end-of-life-reached-on-january-27-2014/

That means it has all the fun "shellshock", "heartbleed", etc's too!!!

Ubuntu only supports a non-lts for up to 9 months after release..

Thus you'll never see me release a non-lts ubuntu release, I'm done
with them. (and there's no point for embedded users)..
