Sounds like you want the latest version of Open SuSE - currently version 
10. Add to that a whole bunch of codecs, and a replacement for the version 
of Xine that is shipped with SuSE, and you'll have what you want.

Also, you might find Evolution (an Outlook clone) to be more useful than 
Mozilla Mail.

SuSE 10 ships with a beta version of Open Office 2, which you can upgrade 
to the final version via online update, but SuSE 10.1 will be released 
before too long.

IMHO, SuSE is easy to use - easier than RH9.
