No need to surf for WiFi drivers.
Wi Fi is detected automatically by Linux Mint.
Install Linux Mint 17.My choice is Cinnamon .

Isn't Fedora 14 a bit old? The current version is Fedora 20. Fedora 14 was released around 2010. Does 14 have LTS?

Fedora does not have LTS (for now, the upcoming Fedora Next plans are something different), so you shouldn't use 14 at all, it is totally without support (read: no bugfixes, no security patches) for years.

When it comes to distributions for beginners I usually recommend to have a look at Mint and openSuse.
