Well, thanks for all the replies. Turns out he has a Debian installation on
his laptop from when he bought it, which is why he thought "a Debian book".
I was able to give him some links, some pointers to more general books (I have
"Unix Power Tools" myself, and yet it never occured to me) and some more
comments. My next step will be to give him the link to this discussion in the
archives.
Thanks to all,
Ciaran.
