I have been running a fairly complete open source GIS stack on a couple of Ubuntu 8.04 machines for about 6 months. I have had no problems getting anything installed from source on them, and use the supporting libs that are available via apt-get almost exclusively. If anyone wants to see the program manifest and the install steps, I'd be happy to send it to them.
