Don't get Ubuntu...

Get Fedora if you get anything. You can get an installable Fedora live cd and it should install and run with no issues link



Cheers

I would get either Fedora or Ubuntu. I'm currently using Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm really enjoying it.

I'd recommend Ubuntu. 9.10 comes out tomorrow.

If he knows what he is doing, he could try Arch.
