Answer 2 To write is easy, any distribution will be able to cope with that,
"Record and process/produce/edit audio & video content", someone 	else 
will have to point out applications for that for you, and I seem to 
remember either this list, Tayside or Aberdeen were dealing with video 
recently. "Listen to the radio on the web", (easier with some 
distributions than others, I'm having trouble getting the BBC on Slackware 
11), "watch the occasional movie or clip", again others have deeper 
grounding in that than I, create web pages, I understand this last is 
fairly standard.

We do now know what you need GNU/Linux to do, and why. There doesn't seem 
to be a specific need for one distribution over the others in any of the 
foregoing. So we need to find a distribution that it is easy to add 
applications to, that you can get up and running, does anyone have any 
suggestions? From the foregoing it seems as though all that needs to be 
done is get what you have running.

You do however need to work on presenting your problem in a more concise 
manner. A more conventional format would also be easier for most of us to 
accommodate, can you limit the line length to between 70 > 75 characters?
I take it that as you can't get Ubuntu to work for you you're posting using 
Microsoft®?
