Not _that_ much more advanced...
If he wants the software equivalent of the "build your own PC from mail order
parts, following the instructions in a book" experience, you can't do better
than www.linuxfromscratch.com.
If he just wants to boot up a system and play around with it a bit, knoppix
cd's are the best way to go. (Google for knoppix, you can download burnable
iso images. It's a linux distribution that boots straight from the CD
without you having to install it. It'll autodetect your hardware and
everything. There are a couple limitations because of this, but nothing
major I've noticed so far. It's even got xbattle. :)
