Q. I want to add a Linux distribution as a dual boot. Which Linux is the best?

A. I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 11. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

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:
