I personally haven't used Ubuntu.. but Knoppix was great for exploring and casual work & web surfing on a PC without a hard drive.
The latest Fedora Core has been great for me.. I've been able to play almost all multimedia files using VLC and streaming online radio using mplayer!
Great addition to my living room I must say. Hope installation would be a breeze for you.. a fast disc drive helps!
