Thinking about what I've seen in the forums, on IRC channel, etc. 
I'm going to vote against this idea for the time being...
Not because I think it's not a good idea, or that it's not the right thing to do, but because distros & or OS choice is like religion to people who care obout such things. To suggest one distro over all others is probably going to wind up being divisive within the Inkscape community and the project as well.
 
In summary: People will take it personally.
 
There is also lot of controversy surrounding Ubuntu as a Linux distro, and their dedication to user freedom, vs corporate goals.
 
However, Doc, I think we ("we", as in you and I) can do plenty to spread the word about Ubuntu as a creative platform, as well as other good/easy to install and use distros, outside the Inkscape project, which would possibly have as much or more sway than a fleeting mention on our website.
 
It would be cool to approach it from the other direction: Using Ubuntu's popularity as a means of promoting Inkscape, which I doubt would be objectionable to most people in the project.

Thanks Alex, good question.

It would communicate an opinion to our users. If Inkscape is interested
in Free Software as an ecosystem, or industry, or Open Source as a
method or working; then we can recommend other Free Software or Open
Source things when we depend on them, for examine operating system.

If we have no opinion, we can communicate that too via abstaining.

Of course this somewhat gets into why any particular developer is
involved, and I understand Free Software itself is not always or even
mostly the reason. And so you'll see a bit of technical rhetoric being
thrown out here, but I don't believe Inkscape working well on Ubuntu is
really the best argument for why a project might have an opinion to
share.

Hi,
 
Please do it, but better:
 
A common problems is to focus on tools, to promote USAGES.
 
So, the message should become:
 
"OpenSource softwares permit you to use this software in almost any way you could want to, except build a closed thing with.
As in democracy each freedom as price: WE NEED YOU to keep innovation open, please do not buy closed product nor ideas!"
 
How much does it cost to close innovation?

I think the problem is:
-Would all the inkscape team be agreed to promote theses ideas?
-Does all the team's "sponsor" makes opensource source stuff?
-Will the team be agree to AFIRM the necessary (as in this closed society...) opensource side of inkscape?
 
If all the answers matches, you probably should put this kind of banner as it would be a miracle in the non profit world!
 
I had 2 pennies too ;)
