I recently purchased an mini-itx motherboard through ebay. It has integrated video, audio, LAN as well as a TV out. It has a 1.3 ghz celeron processor and 128 mb of ram, and supports a max of 256. It will also have a 30GB laptop HDD that came from a 2 year old dell notebook
I plan on using this as a media-center type PC. I would like to connect it to my TV's s-video (i am currently doing this with another PC, but the PC is big and ugly, hence the downsizing), and I was wondering if there is a highly efficient superslim linux distro that will allow me to do the following
run w/ minimal system reserves
display video w/ a max resoultion of 600x480
allow me to access files on remote windows XP PCs
stream files across the network so that i can watch them without copying to the HDD first
Thanks for your time

Try geexbox http://www.geexbox.org/en/index.html
It is a gui that can either be booted from disk or set up as an os using only 10 mbs. The gui is a bit cartoonish but the new release lokks great (only in testing) I've used it on it's own and on top of other OS and it works fine.

Most of them can handle this task. It will be up to you to configure everything properly.
