Give him a laptop / machine running Ubuntu - and let him manage it - 
he'll learn, you'll still have the skills to help him administer it - 
and when he's ready / tires of the limited software available in stock 
Ubuntu, he'll run Debian :)

Netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, Adobe Flash and Firefox works fine 
for all of Google / Youtube and the BBC iPlayer. It's not fully DFSG 
Free - but then nor are the formats you're trying to play.

All best,
