From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And that's exactly my point. You aren't going to get a basic feel by booting a live USB. Better for him to try out the update mechanisms, install a few programs, and maybe test some theming from within a VM.
Plus, some of the ones I listed don't have live environments but would be great choices for gaming distros and better than some of the ones that do have live environments. You'd be limiting your options by having this unnecessary requirement.
