Boxee - Linux or Windows?

Question

I am looking to build a simple HTPC based on boxee, it is a very low power machine (2ghz P4, 1gb RAM, 1gb video card).

At present it has Win7 on it, but I want to run boxee as my media centre software (I love the watch later facility) and I was wondering what it would run best on?

If linux, what distro and why?

I would suggest ubuntu over windows because it would work better than windows on that hardware and ubuntu over other distros because it is easier to install,has a large hardware support and a large community.

Absolutely linux.

I'd choose a very light flavour of it: Linux Mint Fluxbox.
