Linux lite? Like military intelligence?
Far less trouble to install Win98 and be done with it.
Either he will have drivers or not.

The only linux he might consider would be a distro for the same time as
the hardware, but with nil support and a continual whine of "you should
upgrade to the latest version", why bother.

I think it may have been dependant on the computer build compatibility.
