Yes, it runs fine.  openSUSE gets the newer, more up to date versions
of mono sooner because of the openSUSE build service
(https://build.opensuse.org/) but there are many core developers on
the mono team (non-novell employees, just open source contributors)
that are Debian and Ubuntu Packagers/Developers/Users and make sure
everything is running smoothly.

Directhex is a Debian packager but he maintains an Ubuntu PPA and
Debian Backports for Mono:

You can also check out http://mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Ubuntu
for more package options for Ubuntu.

Ubuntu also ships with Tomboy Gbrainy, and F-Spot, which are mono
based applications, so it has to run well. I also couldn't live
without gnome-do, which doesn't come by default, but it should!
