However, if he can get by with mostly command-line stuff on the remote

Linode, but as Seb said there are more beefy VPSes available. Only up
to 2.8GB of RAM, though, and that one can get expensive quickly.

I've just finished moving my hosting from a linux box at home to Linode.
I speak highly of it.  I was happy to be able to set up my own distro
and do what I wanted to with it.  Their pricing even allows adding
additional virtual machines, and only paying for the days that you use
them.  The reasonably priced ones are rather sparse in RAM, but it seems
to be working fine for me to host email, web, and such.

Just turning off the machine at home will save me more in electricity
than the cost of the linode hosting.
