Lightbulb Linux Media Center Distro?


Hey there guys,
I've got a request from my neighbor to change his little 750 mhz PC into a media center. I'm looking for a distro that acts like the Windows XP media Center edition, and that will work with a wireless joystick. Or, maybe just an application that will act like Windows XP Media Center. With the menus that let you choose music and pics and stuff, not the standard Linux GUI. Thanks guys,
-Sloik

Is there a way I can integrate into the GeeXboX software a utility that will let the user download the files straight from the CD to the Hard Drive? Or else there's really no point in having a GeeXboX when you have a DVD player.
Thanks,
-Sloik
