Last time I cared about motherboard form factors I knew about Baby-AT,
Full-size AT, LPX, ATX, Micro-ATX, Flex-ATX, NLX, WTX and Backplane Systems.
There are also many proprietary designs, of course.
Maybe you refer to the NLX form factor instead of LNX?
The NLX specification was developed by Intel as a low-profile case and
motherboard. NLX systems are designed to use ATX power supplies, even though
the case and motherboard dimensions may be different. NLX computers use a
riser board and the motherboard plugs into the riser (unlike LPX where the
riser plugs into the motherboard). The power supply connects to the riser,
as do the disk drives, front panel lights and switch connectors, etc. So the
motherboard in an NLX system has no internal cables, cards or connectors
attached to it. If you want to take out the motherboard, no boards or cables
have to be removed. Simply slide it out the left side on rails. You can find
more information about some motherboard form factors in
