Thanks for the reply, Wade.  Could you expand on what's involved in
getting Ubuntu onto a SATA drive?  I'm not looking to make this project
any harder than necessary, but I had decided on SATA in part because of
the small cables being a good thing for air flow in the case.  If
there's reasonable instructions somewhere I don't mind building some
software packages, but if I have to start hacking from scratch I'll live
with the ribbon cables.

Thanks again for your help.
