why would you recommend a gui based OS for a machine without a screen.

linux

and you can simply telnet into it and manage it remotely from any machine in your house.

I'm doing some remodeling work in my house and I had my tv and cable box unplugged for over a week and I barely even noticed. I downloaded my favorite shows online for the week which is what I usually end up doing anyway since I no longer have tivo
