Q. I have an old Dell, with 933 mhz processor, 128MB Ram, 20GB hardrive, and a CD burner. What is the best linux distro for this computer? It currently runs Windows 2000 pro. For hoots, I tried running Windows XP on it, but it was too slow. I think the 128MB or ram is what really holds the computer back, but only my parents use it, and theres not much sense in upgrading it at this point. I want to set up a dual boot on it so I can start learning linux with out fear of messing up my current computer. My warmest and sincerest thanks to all!!

A. I like how gentoo does things. You start with the basic toolchain, portage, and a few file system and networking tools. Then you just compile everything you need for the system you want and the dependencies, but nothing more.
There are a few other minimalistic distros out there that allow you to build/download which programs you want from the ground up except for the very basics. If this is just for yourself then there is no reason to actually create a distribution of you're own. And anyways you'd have to do quite a bit of work to make it recognizably different than any current distro.
If you want a custom install that is reproducible for yourself later, you can probably just write a script to install the packages you want one at a time after installation like the following for debian based distros
(stuff that means this is a bash script)
apt-get install package-1
apt-get install package-2
apt-get install package-3
...
apt-get install package-n

What Linux distro's have the best hardware support?
Q. Also which hardware companies have the best Linux distro's support?
A. Fedora/Redhat has by far the best driver support. If Fedora doesn't support it it's unlikely any distro does.
Other distros with excellent device support include.
Mandriva
Ubuntu/Kbuntu
CENTOS
