That is correct. I apologize for any ambiguity.

While I am currently unable to locate the post asserting the Udoo team
successfully installed Jessie, this post from a Udoo user alludes to a
successful Jessie install:
http://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/no-audio-output-on-linux-over-hdmi.6803/
On the other hands, there is a user also encountering the blank-screen
syndrome with Jessie on the Udoo X86 platform:
http://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/linux-xfce-debian-jessie-blank-screen.6854/
And another who found stretch more stable than Jessie:
http://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/debian-jessie-linux-os-installation.6819/#post-26261
I believe this may have been where I saw the mention of Debian on the Udoo
X86 platform: http://www.udoo.org/docs-x86/Software_&_OS_Distro/Linux.html
When/if I receive a response to my inquiry from the Udoo support team
regarding which Jessie distribution they installed, I'll post it here.

PS: It is the integrated Arduino hardware and very low power requirement
that make this new platform interesting to me for portable/battery-power
use.
