Yes. By default, Ubuntu has supported multi processing since Ubuntu 5, due to the default kernel that loads is and SMP kernel. In other words it assumes a system has multiprocessing. If of course you don't, there is no degradation in performance.

Do you need a driver for wired Ethernet adaptor in Ubuntu?

Who is the manufacturer of Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is a community effort and does not have a single maker. It is a distribution that is an off-branch from Linux. Google for "Ubuntu" and "Linux" for more information.
What process model was used to develop Ubuntu?
Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel, which uses 1:1 process model, from wikipedia: "Threads created by the user are in 1-1 correspondence with schedulable entities in the kernel. This is the simplest possible threading implementation." It's possible that supercomputer flavors of Linux support other threading models, but since this question was about ubuntu I answer so.
How do you get the source code for Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is whole operating system, and thus is not composed of just source code. You probably want the source of the kernel, for which just type "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.x.xx" Replace x'es with kernel version you are interested in, typically version of your kernel. Type "uname -r" to find out, example result: 2.6.35-22-generic For which you should type "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.35" Or just install linux-source, which always contains the latest source code. I don't know where it will be installed, sorry :p For individual programs, look on their webpages.
