Ubuntu is a nice product, agreed. But with his goal of learning BSD and dual-booting, PC-BSD makes a nice simple install to get to a GUI so he can have a functional, graphical BSD system while learning. Depending on his system, perhaps doing virtual machines might be an option (under Windows, Ubuntu or BSD) --- this would give him the ability to setup a virtual network and not worry (too much) about messing up his desktop install.
