Linaro is not a distro ;-) Although it does put out quite a lot of
images. Did you have a particular one in mind?

Here is a page on installing Debian which may be helpful (I know nothing of the Utilite)
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/CompuLab/PC-Utilite/wheezy

It may well have got rather easier since that was written. Other imx6
boards are somewhat supported in jessie, although most seem to need a custom
kernel: https://boundarydevices.com/debian-installer-on-i-mx6/

The above links may help.
