Ubuntu Netbook release as Media Center?

[Stephen]

I have a computer i want to build as a media center, however i am
trying to decide what will work best, the TV i have is a normal non HD
TV and any resolutions other than 640x480 go to blur city. however at
this resolution i lose any function because a majority of dialog boxes
are to big.

Thinking about this i was wondering if the netbook release of Ubuntu
would be counter productive or not.

optionally if anyone has any other ideas id be willing to experiment with them.

the 2 computers i am rolling about are a VIA epia system or a full
desktop (thats really overkill for a media center)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
