That depends - if they have used chatrooms before that would work fine,
but many such channels have three or more conversations going on at the
same time, and can be really scarey places when you are struggling.  I'd
hesitate to recommend this to someone who was already showing signs of
stress - I don't want to be blamed for him having a stroke! :-)

Gabriel Says -

I think I have to agree with you on that one! Okay, well, there are a
number of how to sites, that may make pleasant reading for newbies...
http://www.fedorafaq.org/ - Should answer a few questions, and maybe
even motivate the newbie guy/person/girl to want to learn more.

Just an idea :)
