The best thing about live CDs are they are small downloads and you can
choose a spin that you want. For example if you prefer XFCE you need
not bother about installing Gnome or KDE stuff that you don't need.

There is one downside though, you don't get to choose the packages in
the live CD that gets installed. So if you want to exclude any of the
packages, you have to remove it once everything is installed. (not
sure about this part, so correct me if I am wrong)

And a few cautionary remarks:
1. Make sure you have enough RAM in your system. Live CDs don't do
well with systems with a small RAM. 2 gigs is okay imo.
2. If you have a very new graphics card (like my HD4870), GUI _won't_
work. You would need to do a text install. (No scares, I found console
graphics pretty cool and easy to navigate through)

Thats it. And a good hearty welcome to your friend. :)
