You don't even need to run Linux to make it work as a good media centre (as far as I'm aware XBOX Media Centre is released under the GPL - or at least it's open source). It won't play HD media (I've tried, it plays it at about 2 frames a second) but it's great for standard DVD videos, Xvid/Divx videos, MPEG video, MP3s, OGG audio and streaming media.
