The OSS version has open-source software only, so no flash / Adobe / Realplayer / Sun Java / MP3 or WIN32 codecs / DVDdeCSS. I'm using the OSS version but got all of these by following the article at http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/178/42/

There will be no difference for ATI support out of the box. Any additional ATI drivers will be available no matter what version you install.

Note that there's an OSS version which contains only open source software; an eval version which also includes other free, but closed, software; and a retail version, which as far as I know, includes commercial software.
