Maybe he doesn't know about Ubuntu or isn't used to it. I'm probably going to send him a quick e-mail saying that he's probably better putting Ubuntu or something along those lines (even Linux Mint) on there and explain that there is a large community out there (the local LUG for instance, and if he chooses Ubuntu, the Ubuntu forums and Ubuntu-UK mailing list) for support.
