What is the best linux distribution for multimedia editing?

Q. I'm trying to decide which distribution of linux to install. I want a version with which i can record music, edit pictures, etc... Or am i completely misunderstanding how the linux distributions work? Each one has different programs already installed and do different things... right?

A. yes, each one usually has a different program.

but if you want to do mulimedia is linux i would suggest you to go for ubuntu studio. audio video and graphics. you want it, it got it.

checck it out http://ubuntustudio.org/

i have tried it and i like it very much, although all i did was test it out. i am not multimedia person. all i do is handle a few digital photographs. i really did not need to use it. i switched to regular ubuntu.

but ubuntu studio is really great and i think you will find everything that you need, in it.

ubuntu studio does not fit in a cd, you will need a dvd and also its installatin unlike other ubuntu's is not graphical. but its is smooth and you is easy to use. but after installation. its very nice.

What is the best linux distribution for an older computer?
Q. Which linux distribution would be the best to install on a older computer that still woks fine, like: 866mhz, 512ram, 80GB hard drive?
I mean, so I can reuse an older computer for basic tasks such as browsing the web, writing documents, store some music and pictures.

A. Something like Ubuntu or Debian would work fine.

Gnome is another popular choice:

Puppy Linix runs only in RAM, that might be a good choice for an older computer with a slower processor:

Another good distro for a slower computer is VectorLinux. I have seen it run on much slower PC's than yours:
