I have tried RedHat, FC5, Mandriva 2006, SUSE 9.0/9.3/10 and looked at Debian and Ubuntu.

I use SUSE 10 now. I got a free DVD disk from Linux Pro Magazine (I htink that was the mag!).

SUSE 10 or any version I imagine has just about any general application you need: Acrobat. Open Office, Mozilla (not latest version) and I had no problem loading rpms for Thinderbird and the latest Firefox.

If I get stuck there is always someone to ask but this is true of just about all distributions

Second for Ubuntu. It is easy, free (get free CDs), and should meet your other requirements too.

Try Ubuntu. With Ubuntu you get the best of Debian (namely apt-get to keep the system up to date) with a lot of other good stuff thrown in.

Otherwise, I would recommend Fedora Core 4, though their YUM is not as good as apt-get.
