There are easy to read install guides for Ubuntu and Synergy and it can be installed through the package manager.

As for your other wishes, virtually every distro will do that.
I appreciate the advice on Synergy, but I don't want to clutter the office with a second monitor (which Synergy seems to require). Some reasonable 4-port KVM switches can be purchased for <$100, including cables to connect 2 machines.
