I'm running ROS Jade on RPi2 (Ubuntu 14.04) and ROS Kinetic on RPi3 (Ubuntu Mate 16.04) without any problems.

Note that by default hardware serial on RPi3 is connected to bluetooth. I didn't figure out how to break it out yet. Other than that all works great. Tested with Hokuyo laser scanner, usb_cam, mavros with PX4 etc. The heat is a bit of an issue, but at 50% CPU utilisation RPi2 is running at ~60C without problems.

Also, note that latest Ubuntu 16.04 for RPi3 is not stable yet (tested couple weeks back), thus using Ubuntu Mate.
