One of the great things about Ubuntu is that it will come with all those programs built in, as well as a bunch of others. And you can easily download a whole host of other linux apps within Ubuntu.

As for drivers, they can always be tricky, but Ubuntu supports a large library of hardware. I installed it on one of my machines and everything worked right off the bat. If you need specific ones, there is often linux versions available if you look.
