I didn't have any major problems installing Koha 3 on Ubuntu.

A combination of these pages was helpful:

I glanced at the documentation for character map file set, and it seems to be
exactly what we need.

Did
anyone have luck installing Koha on Ubuntu?  I tried installing Koha
2.2.9 on my Ubuntu box (8.4) few weeks ago but I got stuck on Yaz
libraries.  I am wondering here if I should install Debian instead...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry!

You definitely need to use Koha 3 (in Zebra mode) to handle correctly 
extended characters. Thanks to Zebra, Koha 3, which is UNICODE 
compliant, can index any kind of characters. If default Koha Zebra 
configuration doesn't feet your needs (it is certainly the case), you 
can easily tweak it:

Take a look specifically on that:
