Ofcourse he doesn't want the kernel :-/ - not stand-alone anyway

Ubuntu is really nice, but It's not windows95 like, and no small download. You need a distro that installs all packages from the net (so you can select which ones you want, and it'll download thes). Another option: Order an Ubuntu-CD. It's completely free (no ads or something): http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org/.

So how's that possible? 2 words: Rich african

I have an old abandoned PC, AMD Duron 750Mhz, 128MB RAM, 18GB HDD, 8MB crappy graphics card (i.e. non).

Would that be able to run Linux?

Yes, it will run Linux, but it won't run GNOME or KDE with all nice-super-special-cool effects turned on. You might want a light window-managerDesktop environment (like xfce). Search for a newbie distro with XFCE :P
