Lubuntu is Ubuntu but instead of Unity as the desktop environment, it uses LXDE. It can support ROS. The board depends on your needs. If you just need communication and basic processing, something like the Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black would work.

Some board have certain features that may be better suited towards your needs. This tough to answer since it really depends on your individual needs.
