Sounds like good advice. Assuming the computer has a gig of RAM or more, then regular Ubuntu will be a fine choice.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
