Lightweight Distro that plays Multimedia files


I want opinions here please,

I just killed; yet another XP box. It has a P3-733 with
256 MB RAM. Between Xubuntu, Zenwalk 5.0, or Vector, which is
best for multimedia? Maybe, another distro I haven't tried.

Again, I want to keep it light, preferably with the XFCE window manager. Drive space is not an issue.

Thanks

Vector Linux light edition, will just fly on that hardware. Also, multi-media including DVD's works out of the box, you won't even have to install anything else yourself.
