Linux Media Player distro

[slinky]

any ideas folks...

I've got an old C333 that I want to use as a media jukebox type affair, and seeing as it's only a 333 I thought a cut down linux distro would do the job...

Anyone got any recommendations for a distro to use?

Ta,

Cheers for the advice so far Bodo, I should've been more specific with my first post...

I moved my main machine into the theatre a little while ago so have been using that to play MP3's, MPEG's and AVI's etc thru stereo and TV...

I managed to grab a free machine (the aformentioned C333) and thought that with a linux install it might serve ok as a player for the above mentioned formats... I've got a perfectly good DVD player so don't intend to be using it to watch those...

My main machine has more than enough disk space, so very little would actually be stored on the "media player"... I wouldn't be streaming, so would just be opening the files across the network (10mb)...

Does that give you a better idea as to what may serve my purpose, or should I just carry on down the route of using a normal install of linux and find a nice media player to use?

Cheers,

oh, btw, it's running a 6Gb hdd, so install size isn't really an issue..

Will be throwing a TV out card and NIC into the box with the intention of doing exactly what you say..
