I am actually in the process right now of upgrading my release process to include 10.04 and 12.04 installers by default.

Will have a 10.04 offline bundle for you tomorrow morning Smiley
In my search process I just noticed there is only 10.04 support until 2013/05.
Are you sure you want to keep support on 10.04?
One nice thing about 10.04 is that it will run on really old hardware, including non-PAE CPUs, which allows some otherwise obsolete machines to be used as the offline/cold storage piece of the Armory solution.  (Devices like IBM ThinkPads from the Windows 98 and Windows 2000 era.)  Because 12.04 switched over to using the PAE Linux kernel by default, it is non-trivial to get it to boot on a non-PAE CPU, so removing 10.04 support would probably, as a practical matter, reduce the universe of "spare" hardware that could be used for the Armory cold storage wallet.
