What is a light, fast linux capable of being a dedicated media player?

Have got an old laptop I'd like to use a dedicated media player. Its got modest specs, having 1.1 Ghz processor and 256-512 mb ram. I'd like to be able to turn it on, and as soon as possible, have a media player with a media library available.

I was assuming a linux distro would be most appropriate, but which one?What is a light, fast linux capable of being a dedicated media player?
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 5 'Fluxbox' http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_elyssa_flux鈥?/a>



Linux Mint 5 'Fluxbox' would run blisteringly fast on your machine whilst having elegance at the same time.



LUg.
Medibuntu is Ubuntu, which means that there's probably a hundred terabytes of support information written about it, which is nice. Ubuntu is becoming the ONLY distro, which is sorta lame, but it's a fairly sturdy and well-designed Debian derivative.



LinuxMCE is very interesting, I recomend checking it out at linuxmce.com. If you do, make sure you tell us about your experience.What is a light, fast linux capable of being a dedicated media player?
Keep your OS light. Xubuntu maybe. or FluxBox might work. PcLinuxOS also good. Mepis is light enough for you as well. Also very user friendly.
