Can't your cousin install you any Linux distribution? I suggest to try on it Ubuntu Netbook Edition it's also probably optimized for the Intel Atom.0 -
he tried but couldn't...he also started using linux recently...he did it by booting from cds and dvds...the usb instalation is very hard!0

Hey, I know what you're going through, and a lot of people have problems with this.
I would download Ubuntu for netbooks, which will be your linux distribution http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
If you click on the "show me how" button, there will be several instructions that make everything simple.
After you have put ubuntu on your flash drive, reboot your computer and look for a prompt at the very beginning that says "boot options" or "boot menu" or "boot devices". Hit the corresponding key, and choose the usb option with the arrow and enter keys.
Then the rest should be fairly straight forward. Feel free to post if you need more help.0
