[smogsy]

I will be looking for a Linux Distro very soon as work is throwing out there old PC's, after a mirgration to new high speced PC's.

The PC's There Throwing out are P4 3.0Ghz to Core 2 duo 2.4Ghz with 1GB-2GB Ram. so i thought why not grab a few for HTPC's

Im looking for Linux Distro with the following Features:

Fast
Fairly easy to use
Stable,Effeicent
Support for Intel Intergrated Graphics & support for 1920x1080 res.
Support for Apple Lossless Music Files
(Which App would you recomended? i use Foobar/VLC on Win/Mac)

Bonus would if Mac like Interface is avaliable

I Have Previously used Fedora 9 & Ubuntu.

Thanks
