If you can't find it on Lenovo's or Ubuntu's web sites, then you'll
have to contact them. To contact Ubuntu I would use the forums.

I note from your link above that the version that is certified is a
vendor-specific version of 10.10. Note that for the recently released
11.04 Ubuntu has made some massive changes to the desktop, replacing
Gnome with Unity as the default. There have been a lot of complaints
from experienced Linux users about Unity. But then, it is human to
resist change. I haven't tried it personally.
