hmm... 
if u don't mind not having apt-get and a little windows-like behaviour, i'd 
suggest Mandrake or SUSE (but i haven't used this in a while)... these seem 
to be the best at "out of the box" sort of compatibility and setup, and then 
maybe Fedora but seeing how it is bleeding edge, it might fall down a little 
bit...

if you can't live with out the wonders of apt then i really would suggest 
Morphix, which i found to be absolutly brilliant, probably the easiest of all 
the distro's for me to get working

umm... AFAIK all the distros come with what you want, with the exception of 
Firefox, which i believe you will still have to download. 

if you were a first time user, i'd suggest the bloat and fun of Mandrake, but 
seeing as your not, i really would suggest giving Moprhix a go.

Aq told me to give it a try and i was amazed... so i think (that maybe 
although i could be wrong) he might suggest it to you aswell.. 

btw... apparantly knoppix's hardware support isn't that grand... but i haven't 
tried it so i can't comment
