From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu should be able to. They even have some sort of kernel hot patching service I have not used.
If you do not care about kernal updates then most distros should be fine. Just ignore the reboot suggestions.
Edit: If you do not reboot you might want to make sure critical things are restarted such as you web browser. Or just logout and login again. One hopes the distro appropriately handles service updates but who knows for certain.
