I just downloaded Feisty Faun to check out, and I’m playing with it on my laptop in a VM. I had to experiment a bit to get the DVD libraries and codecs to work. I’d guess I spent about 30 minutes on it... Other than that, everything came right up. But of course, with hardware virtualized like that, there wouldn’t be many problems.
The reason I’m trying it is that I’ve got a friend who has NO BUSINESS using a computer! No matter what I do, about every 3 weeks I have to run HiJackThis to get rid of malware, and he’s constantly picking up viral infections. I’ve installed just about everything on his computer that I can think of (Spyware Blaster, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, AVG Anti-Spyware, Spybot S&D w/ Tea Timer, Ad Aware, and AVG AV. It’s almost like he’s going around the web TRYING to infect his computer.
I’m going to introduce him to Linux for his web and email access. And he won’t be given the root password!

Good lord, where is he going that he needs all of that?....Nevermind I don't want to know. Be careful of that root password, cause if knows how to search at all it's no problem looking on the forums to find out how to change it.
Have you tried Sandboxie
www.sandboxie.com
that should help alot if you can encourage him to use it ... possibly the paid version ($25) that will always keep the browser contained automataically
