An associate needs a system that's "rock-solid stable, fast, inexpensive, and servicable for email/web, site authoring & posting (he's used to FrontPage), basic photo editing, and as a personal video recorder plus DVD playback."

His dilemma: should he go with Linux + Freevo <b>or</b> Windows XP Media Center Edition? (The person who's building it for him has more experience with the latter.)

Hardware Requirements: Intel chipset that supports the ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9600 graphics adapter (w/TV in, TV tuner, TV out and remote control). 256 (min) to 384 (max)megs of RAM and a 1.4 Ghz Celeron-clone (PowerLeap Tualatin).

So considering all this (and the fact that the person who'll be using the computer is <b>not</b> a computer techy), which OS should he opt for?

my two cents go with Windows for an easy to use OS, sometimes.
