The Acer Aspire One comes with a USB keyboard and mouse, but it has
plenty of USB ports so I don't see why you can't use a wireless one.
Only gotcha would be remotely turning it on via wireless keyboard, I
suspect that would fail.

It has wifi, so yes.

Ubuntu 9.10 works fine. I run Boxee on mine, and it plays HD content
just lovely.
