A personal suggestion from experiance. Use Fedora. We use it for our desktops at office. It works well and has all the features you need and pretty easy to use in GUI mode.
I would still say that openSUSE is very easy to use and handle and with Yast it becomes a matter of second, you dont need to know how things happen. You can find most of the HOW TOs here http://en.opensuse.org/
What is yast in opensuse is yum in fedora. Does the same thing, works in the same way. Most software not listed in the repository will have a line to add to yum to get it to work from there. I know as i have seen it before and used it before.
Yast is like a system configuration utility, yum is a package manager.
