using Ubuntu PC platform

[mittg]

We have started with  yateBTS using the raspberrypi platform with bladerf as shown at https://blog.strcpy.info/2016/04/21/building-a-portable-gsm-bts-using-bladerf-raspberry-and-yatebts-the-definitive-guide/
However we noticed the raspberrypi  cannot keep up with the processing ( numerous Transmit underrun) and cannot provide enough power to  bladerf.

So we moved the raspberrypi  installation steps to Ubuntu 16.04. And it works better  We are seeing several gsm intermittent problems.

Since not sure if the raspberrypi  installation steps are Ok for Ubuntu, we would like to know if there are better installation instructions steps to follow using Ubuntu ?

What is the starting point of instructions to follow to use Ubuntu as the platform for yateBTS ?

And if Ubuntu 16.04 is OK to use ?

And if using RPM is good start as noticed rpm for Linux: http://yate.null.ro/tarballs/yate5/yate-5.5.0-1.tar.gz 
listed at http://docs.yate.ro/wiki/Download#Downloadable ?

Or what do you recommend ?
