I've been considering Slackware, but would like to know what else is popular. I'm hoping to do computer graphics and animation.

There is even a version of Linux that will run right from Windows! Is is called DSL-Embedded (Damn Small Linux)

I've been looking for the best Linux distro lately. I'd suggest Ubuntu first, which is storming the Linux distribution scene these days. Really easy to install and use. Check out the links below. For a limited time, they even ship 2 CDs (one for installation, one for Live-CD) free of any charge (even shipping fees). Of course, downloading them will be much faster than shipping them.

I have tried many distros myself, including Mandrake, Fedora, and SUSE.

ATM my favorite is SUSE because it recognizes all of my hardware out of the box. It is also very newbie friendly imo.

The newest version of Fedora hates my sound card. Mandriva is my 2nd pick.

Knoppix. You can run it right off a CD if you want.
