I don't think that it is available to the general public yet.
For information reguarding ubuntu on devices: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices

More specifically: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android

Go and visit this post at XDA Developers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171786. Even though it has been discontinued, it gives the goods and instruction to backup your current rom and install UTO. It's only the Alpha 1 release, so nothing works. It's just cool to have a bit of a look around. I personally can't wait until the Beta Dailies start. So, hopefully

Also, go and have a look at http://www.onexroot.com. There they have all the know how of what you seek inregards to HTC, presuming you have a One X or variant of. Personally I've found my HTC One X absolutely fantastic, and one of the easiest phone to work with. Though its only down fall is it's compatability with linux. But a quick search through XDA Forums and it was fixed.

All of that information is for the HTC One, not the HTC Desire HD which is the phone the OP has.
