Using 10.4.5 at home on an eMac. Getting an ibook/Macbook when the Intel version is released.

At work I have Win2000 on my desktop, but have a remote desktop link to an XP machine and a Mac Mini running 10.3.

XP Home edition should suit you fine. There are plenty of apps you can get for playing movies and music. I personally use Winamp for all music, and Windows Media Player for videos. I'm in the process of switching to VLC though.

If you plan on using your machine for tv, then I'd possibly consider XP MCE.

I finally got round to installing it.

Other than a custom kernel and the nvidia driver having to rebuilt everything else went smootly ...... so far.

Compiling my own custom kernel was thing in the past .. I'm too lazy now, just grab the latest kernel from Fedora updates and the video driver from Livna.

Slackware on my laptop (Slacktop), Solaris and Win2k Pro on servers. Woop woop.
