May I suggest you download and install some online documentation for your friend after you have set up Debian for him. That way he will not have to search for it. Much online documentation is in html format so only a browser is necessary to read it locally. gv would suitable if he prefers to view or print the pdf versions often provided. Some Debian specific links: http://edm.act.cmis.csiro.au/debian/debtopics/ http://qref.sourceforge.net/ http://teleport.medri.hr/~docelic/debguide/hands-on-debian-guide.html http://www.polaris.net/~dwarf/ There is Debian package of the last one. Though not specifically directed towards Debian The Linux Newbie Administrator Guide and The Linux Cookbook both have a lot of basic material explained in them and are good reads. http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/index.htm http://www.dsl.org/cookbook/ The second book is packaged for Debian.
