i dont think he'll be able to do that because he dont know much about
computer,but he's fast to learn and he regularly use a chat
software and there's some people in town (6 including me) who use linux
and/or freeBSD so if he dont know how to do a particular thing,he will ask
other how to do it,also,i'll rule out the fact that he can read manpages
because he dont know a word in english (and all the document on my
computer are in english).
