Q. I have an old Dell Pentium4 2.4 Ghz with 1GB RAM that I would like to use for watching Hulu and Netflix videos on the TV. It does a decent job under XP, but sometimes the performance lags a bit and the video gets choppy.
Any ideas what might work better?

A. WattOS looks promising as a lightweight Ubuntu. Hulu should work fine on any Linux distro that has Adobe flash installed. Netflix online video doesn't work yet on Linux, even though Moonlight will work with many Silverlight based websites, it doesn't support the Silverlight DRM that Netflix uses.
What are some lightweight linux distros that look good?
Q. I'm looking for a lightweight Linux distro that doesn't look horrible.
A. Sorry to say they look horrible because they are lightweight :P they cut out all the fancy looks to make it lightweight

Are you suppose to use different linux distros if you have different purposes?
Q. Or can all linux distro do almost the same if you know the terminal command or scripts? For example if i wanted to do some penetration test with back track but i want to surf the wow anonymously with incognito? Do i have to do them seperately or can i kinda combine them together in one.
A. Terminal commands in almost all Linux distributions are the same commands. Penetration Testing (Forensic) Linux distributions do not make a very good desktop, for everyday use. It doesn't make very much sense to do it on your own hard drive. In most Linux distributions, I believe in the package management program you can find anonymous browsing software to install. And yes one Linux in general can be over bloated with software to your desire.
