Debian/Fedora has DVDs you can try.
He needs a one DVD which have everything including codecs,php etc which wont be available with any popular distros by default .
I also forgot to mention Ubuntu studio http://ubuntustudio.org/ and linux mint http://www.linuxmint.com/ both will be having multimedia codecs and are based on ubuntu . The DVD versions will have all packages ( am not sure of web development packages)
His machine is old.
But he is asking for specific stuff. I presume he knows the limitations. The hardware does work well for a single instance of either encode or decode at vga or 1/2 D1 (or lower). However if he opens 2 youtube pages he will be locked solid. Killing an app will take a good 3 minutes.
Lenny will suit him the best. However Ubuntu Studio and Linux Mint will be too heavy.
