What OS would you put on there?

And what software are you guys using to playback? Windows media player? I would like to create virtual music "channels" rock, jazz, classical, electronic, etc. to play.

I listen to Pandora at work (right now as a matter of fact) but to have that at home I would have to add some sort of high speed Internet (cutting satellite to try to cut expenses)
