Am I missing something here? What I've seen of Ubuntu ( at a CLUG meeting ), it came across to me as a messy pile of ****, and a rather small, feature poor one at that.

Not necessarily... some of the latest 2.6 based distros recognise them as SATA. Can't remember which one, though, and I've had to give that machine back! It's not Debian - I've just checked, so it'll be one of FC3, SuSE (the latest enterprise version ) or Mandrake (:
It *should* be hiding the disks behind a RAID card, but I'll try it natively as well, just to see what happens.

And I think you know by now that I'm not just stirring it with comments like this - I *really* do want to know what I've missed.
