You dont really need to be running ubuntu to do the exact same system they have. Its simply a couchdb replicating itself to the ubuntu one server. It doesnt need to use ubuntu one all you need to do is have it replicating to a different computer and that isnt all that hard. I suppose maybe the system for gnome 3 will be fairly easy to set up though so I suppose it doesnt matter too much. Ill mention it anyway in my post.
