I found where the options reside however it doesnt let me use my connection but uses some predifined "Wired" one
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
It's for an older version of ubuntu but should be similar to that.

It'd be a lot easier if you had a router that was set up with PPPOE then plugged your computer into it.
Well my ISP does not have such things just plain old cable internet
P.S
I have ixed the issue with the internet but the font that i have to view pages is ugly
Ubuntu or fedora is pretty nice, those are the only ones I have used, Personally I suggest Ubuntu.

Install the windows fonts(you just select them from add/remove thing or look through the repos if you really want). Then change the fonts

99% of the time yes. There are some distros that you have to buy but many of those also have free versions too.
Honestly I have used only two linux distros.
Suse linux isn't the best distro out there, and IMO it requires a more experienced linux user to use it.
Ubuntu is very easy to use, and you can install/update your programs very easily. Ubuntu even has support for wine. Although honestly I want to make my own linux based OS.

Look at
Linux From Scratch.
And I didn't find Suse to hard to use personally.
