Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 2 officially

ubuntu-mate.org now officially provide download of Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 2. Here show how to download and boot-up current Ubuntu MATE 15.04 for the Raspberry Pi 2 (2015-04-22 version), on Ubuntu.

In my case, after setup wizard in first boot, system hang-up with failed message:
[FAILED] Failed to start oem-config.service.
See "systemctl status oem-config.service" for details.

Anyway, the system still can run after power-off and re-boot again.
