That's what I would approach using a well-known *distro* rather than a well-known hardware: Hardware tend to go out of business or in other ways be hard to get from time to time - and always at the least convenient moments, off course. >2.

But then beware that that's not exactly what you express above ;-) I would suggest to go for 1) first, and let 2) and 3) be optional - transfering files over scp usually fine, and most of us should be capable of installing and setting up an ftp or nfs server quickly on a laptop if need be. The WiFi setup I suggested includes 5 wired ports for faster transport if needed.
