Linux on Packard Bell EasyNote TE69KB series?

Question

linux

A friend puts the system in St. Petersburg ... He is not a Linuxoid even once.
I put Mint cinnamon - the firewood on the AMD Radeon HD 8240 did not work. And the system lags cool.
What light would you recommend?
PS
For "religious" reasons, I won't recommend Windows to him.
We only have internet connection with him - so I can't help him physically
. The interface of questions is not very good yet. convenient.

Answer 1

Do you need graphics?

Answer 2

If you want something easy, I can offer http://www.bodhilinux.com/ - it really works even on asus eeepc 701 - ~ 800 MHz 512 mb RAM
Just change the default file manager if you don't like it (I didn't like it)

Answer 3

From lightweight with a "classic" interface like http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu
