I want to build my father-in-law a system with one of my old PC’s that I can rip his CDs to and teach him how to access the songs with some sort of remote. I want to make it super-simple for him as he is not computer literate. I thought maybe Linux would not require as much resources as running XP, and I don’t know of any good PVR software that will run on something older like Windows 98 or ME. The cpu will be Pentium 3 550 mhz, 384 mb RAM, and a Geforce 2 MX video card. Will any version of Linux work on this setup? I’ve never had any experience with Linux, but I’d like to try. I thought of using Freevo? Or is there something better? How complicated is getting Linux set up?
