Thinking of converting my Windows 7 Boxee box to Ubuntu to ease up on RAM and CPU load, but I can't find a method of mounting the airport disk.

I have found a package called airport-utils, but I can't find explicit information about the disk functions. I really can't switch without this functionality.

Yes, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule both share their USB disks via both AFP (Apple File Protocol, the default remote filesystem mounting protocol for Macs) and SMB (Server Message Block, the default remote filesystem mounting protocol for Windows, which is what the open source "SaMBa" server serves). So the SMB client in Ubuntu should be able to mount your AirPort Extreme's USB disk just like it mounts a Windows server or Linux Samba server.
