Is it a given that if a computer's motherboard has integrated audio and video that it is unsuited for Linux unless audio and video cards are installed?
No. It depends what chipsets are on the motherboard.
Would running a KNOPPIX CD be a reliable test?
Yes. Although if it doesn't work straight away, it may not mean necessarily that you can't get it to work under linux. But it would be a quick n' easy way to find out how many of the devices work straight out of the box.
Is there a website that discusses this topic?
Lots. The LinuxQuestions Hardware Compatibility list is fast becoming a useful resource: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/
Cheers,
