So what OS you're going to get when you run an application under this? So if I run this:

    node -e 'console.log(require("os").type())'
What it's going to print?

Whatever it prints on Ubuntu I expect. Obviously it's not going to return "Windows", or "UbuntuInWindows" else anything that makes that call that would break.
