    Which Linux Distro

    hey guys,
    I am currently running xp, vista and fedora 9 on one system (obviously not at the same time lol) but i want to see if i can install a linux distro that would boot in like 20 seconds or something. Basically because all of my mp3's r stored on the computer and i dont have a stereo so to listen to music i have to wait for one of the other OS's to load which takes a couple of mins so I want know if there is a distro that could do this, all it has to do is play mp3's.. I was trying Damn Small Linux but i cant even get it to boot from the cd or usb so it can't be that, i have heard of arch linux being fast but it seems to complicated for me to install... any ideas...
