Nightime small rig

What os do you guys go for. My Htpc will have 2GB ram max and atom 330. Going to be just used for browsing but mainly just watching tv from the NAS im about to setup. Seems I have the choice of..
Ubuntu and then installing a nice media player and just using it as a desktop
XBMC running on ubuntu is this correct?
Boxee another version of xbmc but a bit friendlier?
Windows 7 or xp

Any others I have missed.
 
Openelec could work very nicely to be honest, with very fast boot times. Also maybe try XBMC Live? It is a cut down version of Ubuntu but you can also still add on firefox and a few other things.
 
Could give Lubuntu a try, should run a bit faster than ubuntu and then install XBMC on top.
 
Thanks for the options will probably try XBMX ontop of ubuntu first see how it performs then move onto the others if it doesnt.
 
Revo + XBMC Live install. Add the CEC dongle and you can control it all with your existing TV remote, boot time is minimal, it uses very little power and it's quiet so goes un-noticed behind the TV.
