Get the guy PuTTY so he has a reliable command line to log into his server with without the GUI. PuTTY can be configured to use public/private key auth, so he can configure it and fire it up without needing a password all the time.
Putty is fine for using the command line, but give MobaXterm a try. It is a terminal, yes, but can start graphical X commands into Windows. It is less heavy on a server than using a full remote session. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
