the appeal of having a linux media center (for me at least) is that
you CAN go into gnome or kde and, lets say browse the net... Download
some public domain movies over torrent apps... I dont think that a
stunted version of linux would be good (at least for me) but then
again, its not about me, so bahh..

err... don't you guys miss some little detail here? freevo is a
standalone app. it does not make sense in my opinion to have some

graphical installer. you don't need gnome or some other desktop
environment on a dedicated freevo box (running freevo non-dedicated is
just stupid, there are lots of other media player and tv programs).
if you want it to be easy for new users to install freevo what you
need
is some little distro (maybe based on debian or gentoo), which you can
ship on a single cd, with some ncurses-based installer which asks some
questions about which tvcard to use or the remote control (things
which
are hard to auto-detect, but relatively easy to know even for an
inexperienced user). the best example for something like this is
