I use Mandrake 9.1 and like it (although it tends to move my desktop icons around when it mounts/unmounts disks - grrrrrr). Your friend could try Knoppix - it runs right from the CD, lets you see existing partitions, has lots of applications, and is based on Debian. I just used it this week to archive some data from a WinXP box that was unable to boot due to failing hard drive. Less than 3 minutes and you're staring at the knoppix desktop. Very cool.
