That all sounds pretty much ideal. I hadn't really looked for uATX

No, they're surprisingly cheap. Onboard graphics is much more common on
uATX than on ATX, too.

Hope the above ramble is helpful ...

Twas, thanks.

.. and I can add that I found time to download a more recent knoppix
last night (5.1.1 with a 2.6.19 kernel) and try it on my box.
Everything seems to be recognized OK. The SATA drive is visible and
lspci gives sensible names to all the nVidia-controlled devices, so
linux support is looking good with any reasonably recent distro.

I've found knoppix works well with SATA RAID drives. It does have a
problem with some Nvidea graphics cards though.

Works for me - I'll be using VNC to remote framebuffer it, not the
builtin hardware.
