Can anyone point me to a link to 'splain to my addled senior brain how to setup an SD card for the RPi2 (Avalon6) using Ubuntu? Everything I find is pointed to Winbloze.
Thank you...

Wow...quick. Thank you again. Shows ya how old I am...I'm quite aware of RPi, it's etiology, etc. but just never had occasion to do anything with one. Also dunno why I didn't come across the .org site in searches...more French press (or PepsiMax), I guess.
That should do it. Mine on!
Sounds like that guide is what you need. But if you get into trouble, feel free to PM me. I've set up a number of RPi's for mining purposes.
In fact last weekend I set up a Stratehm stratum-proxy on a Raspian Jessie lite image. I used DaemonTools to turn it into a service and to manage log rotation. And I mapped all logging to a RAM disk via log2ram to minimize SD card wear and tear.
As an aside, I really like the Stratehm stratum-proxy. It seems well behaved and has a convenient web GUI with pretty graphs (and configurable period and depth for performance tuning). But I'm currently only running one S9 behind it (adding a second S9 B10 that I just bought). Not clear how a Java based proxy running on a resource limited platform like an RPi would fair with a larger farm.
If I had a lot more miners, I'd probably use CK's proxy. But for my limited use case, Stratehm works fine.
