i'm trying to figure out how to do something on my media pc, and would
love the advice of anyone willing to share some input.

background:
i use XBMC on my media pc to watch tv shows and movies i store on my
fileserver. i also am very interested in Boxee, which is great for
watching web-hosted stuff.

what i am looking to do is have a selection appear on the screen after
boot, at which point i'd be able to select, with my remote, which app
to open. ideally, it would have a countdown timer to auto-select a
default.

how possible or impossible is this using existing linux tools?
