They are doing some interesting things down in the internals...much more to come yet...

Ubuntu is linux, so just like Ubuntu it will be linux with fuzzy slippers. I am sure though that they are going to have a unified driver structure though and no rebuild issues for new installs of hardware(well not like that will be an issue with netbooks anyways).
