I had a motherboard with onboard video and sound. The funny part was I was able to get the onboard sound working before all of my friends (we were all newbies, still are but we're learning) who had genuine Creative Labs cards. Back to the point onboard sound and video aren't necessarily bad. Just check the chipset of the video and audio and check the Linux installation. Off the wall chipsets won't be supported but usually companies use S3 for video and a Creative Labs or compatable for the audio. You should have no problems.
