Their are plenty of Linux OS which would work on the Raspberry Pi, admittedly Ubuntu my preferred choice is not one of them (it only kinda works with old versions), so it's obvious to me, I would pick one which did work, debian would probably be my first choice. Since it's only going to worth using an OS which has the full support for it's ARM chip, otherwise it's going to either not work at all, or run like crap.
So it's rather silly/crazy, since if those behind the various Linux projects (specifically Gentoo here) didn't have plans on supporting arm chips, I don't think this is going to change it at all. I give him credit for trying, but when I was looking at low power usage processors that gave me freedom to use anything I wanted on it, I went with the Intel Atom and built a small HTPC that I also use to facilitate mining on my FPGA's. It's awesome and didn't cost that much either.
I wish him the best of luck, but he'd be better of trying to get that all working in debian, it's a good OS once you learn it's little quirks like all of them.
