I'm running a Mac keyboard (wired), and have run several versions of Mac
keyboards on my Ubuntu setup at home. They've pretty much worked right out
of the box, with some notable quirks:

1) The Alt key is mapped to the "Alt" key on the keyboard, not the Command
/ Cloverleaf / Open Apple key. The Open Apple / Cloverleaf key is mapped
to the "Windows" key under the PC-105 layout. (You can change this under
GNOME with little difficulty).

2) The media keys on the older white keyboards worked fine. On the new
keyboards, they're right on the function keys. You'd have to remap them if
you so choose.

3) I haven't personally used the mighty mouse, but would imagine it "just
works" under Ubuntu. Not entirely sure about what signals the trackball on
the top would send, but if it sends button4 and button5, then it should be
just fine.

Hope this helps!
