The important thing is he's running Linux.  Ubuntu does tend to be 
easier for beginners, but perhaps you can do him a favour, by installing 
KDE.  That's what I did, on my one Ubuntu system here (the other 4 are 
all SUSE).

While I leave my desktop on 24/7, I usually turn my ThinkPad of after a 
while.  When I worked at IBM, we'd turn our ThinkPads on in the morning 
and then turn them off at night, so that we could lock them away or take 
them with us.
