if it's the same box and he wants to avoid gui, lynx is more than
sufficient for basic checks. just run

$lynx localhost

to check it out.

Then he must play with different installations, e.g conventional and
hackable /home/user/public_html scheme or chrooted /var/www/users/user
scheme - this is the one OpenBSD 3.2 uses out of the box, so you need to
install nothing at all. Different partitioning is required as /home or
/var would take the bulk of the space. Keep in mind that to unload I/O
most installations on largish ISPs I saw simply nfs distributed parts.
Works very well.

Here is an example (Solaris 7):

09:29 europa .. df -kF ufs    #(shows ufs, i.e. local only)

This will give an idea as about load :

09:29 europa .. w
  9:29am  up 24 day(s),  1:17,  15 users,  load average: 4.20, 4.37,
4.44

09:29 europa .. cat /etc/passwd | wc
   20536   45013 1187745

Hopefully he will not need anything like this, just an example.

Best, Y
