Any other distros, you'll have to google. The following threads/links could be helpful to you:
Google - If you don't know this, you're in trouble
Distrowatch - This keeps track of the (many, many) distros out there and when new versions are getting released.
Which flavor of Linux? - A thread from almost a year ago (they're talking about RedHat 9.. before Fedora!)
linux basics? - A thread about Linux basics (a couple months old).
Thinking about trying out LINUX... - The thread that caused this to be made (well, the straw that broke the camel's back).
mandrake linux 10.0 community - A thread about the latest (test) version of Mandrake
[Linux] RedHat vs. SuSE - A thread about RedHat over SuSE
Linux Newbie - Another "new to linux" thread
Mandrake vs Redhat? Which do you prefer? - It goes into other distros as well
There's another very very useful resource: http://www.linuxquestions.org. They have an extensive Wiki on all sorts of Linux stuff but better yet the forums there are very active and you can find information there on pretty much anything.

Both sites have helpful HOWTO's (or the equivalent). Otherwise, you can Google and find your answer.
If you want to make a DVD iso (or CD iso for that matter), you can use dd. It is included with every distro and most other unixes. You specify your CDROM/DVD device as input file and the name of the iso you want to have as the output file. It'll make a straight bit for bit copy of the CD/DVD, an iso, in effect.
