I don't know about the Space but Ubuntu does support the Intel Graphics card but for the Wireless card might have some troubles I have the same one. You may have to manually set the network.

I reccomend trying Knoppix, Puppy or Damn Small in that order.

(oops , forgot, Puppy isn't on that page.)

Yeah Wolvix is a great Small O/S I also HIGHLY recommend Slax, though it's not based on Ubuntu or Debian for that matter. It's a very good one.
