and im fairly certain you can knockup something in visual basics as a basic interface. i would suggest lynux as i know it will load faster, BUT i dont know how to use it haha
i posted meedios further up which is a lightweight media centre that runs over the top of a basic operating system.

however i agree linux is definately the better way to go
building your own linux kernel is simple and many tutorials are available.

EDIT:
actually now that i've said the words "media centre"
you could just run Windows Media Centre XP. its reasonably light as far as i know
