I ended up purchasing the Vantec enclosure from Filtech - as suggested
- and wrote up a HOWTO detailing the setup of Kanotix on a USB
external drive as a portable computing solution:

Thanks for the earlier tips posted on this list. In my HOWTO under
'Resources' I mention LUGs in general and put in a link to GTALUG in
particular.

Wow... I am loving Kanotix right now. What an amazing distro - did a
permanent hard drive install on my main box as well.
