It is Ubuntu packaged for small installs to USB or easy setup of diskless nodes and server. So it is just Ubuntu all-in-all.

Yes, it is for small installs.

At the terminal type ifconfig -a look for eth0 for wired and wlan0 for wireless. If they are not there linux does not reconise or have drivers for that device.
