I'm an experienced programmer, but I have never programmed for Linux before. Recently I've purchased a Sony PlayStation 3, and I'm planning to turn it into a part-time media center. I would like to install Ubuntu on the console and make it boot straight into an application that I will code myself.

Now the question is: what -kind- of (Linux) application must I code?

I'm sorry if it turns out to be a stupid question!

I would think that you would need to create a window manager to eliminate the use of metacity.. You might wanna look into freevo (that's the only thing I can think of that behaves similarly to what you want) and how they handle this case.
