Right now, dedicated only servers (public) will be unranked ONLY.  You 
will not be able to run your own ranked servers on any GSP.   Not sure 
if anyone is working with Activision but I would say no seeing as no one 
has announced anything in regards to pre ordering.

A lot of GSPs are sun shy (and they should be) after the Modern Warfare 
2 debacle and don't trust anything until the game ships (The Call of 
Duty series has a track record of saying one thing and meaning another, 
or not saying anything - leaving you to guess what they will release.

You may want to wait until the game ships and the GSPs can dig into the 
bits to see what they can offer you, and how it runs on their system.

In regards to your Linux questions. If I was a gambling man, and I am.  
I would vote you won't see Linux bits at all.
