I have installed Ubuntu Linux on several friend's machines. There really is no barrier today to using Linux as opposed to Window, rather, the barrier is more about applications. I recommend that your son install Firefox (and possible Opera), and Open Office on his Vista computer and NOT USE Internet Explorer or MS Office for a month. If he can get that far, then he should have no problem with Ubuntu. If there are any specific, special application that your son uses, let us know so that we can recommend suitable replacements. Although some Windows programs can be run in Linux, those methods are hacky and not recommended.
