I have an old Toshiba Satellite laptop (has a sticker on it saying "designed for Windows ME") which I want to set up to use as a portable media player type thing. Basically I want to install some kind of OS and media player software that can handle .avi files and get some way of copying stuff onto the hard drive (I've confirmed that the DVD drive, USB drive and onboard ethernet work).
Currently it's running Ubuntu 6.something with IceWM as the window manager, playback is still a little laggy.
ah, also the sound card is broken so no need to worry about sound. Everything I plan to play is subtitled.
Any suggestions?
