My best recommendation would be to actually use whatever he's interested in. 
"Linux skills" is such a vague term, it could mean anything. Pick something 
interesting in, and go make it work. While it may not be feasible to do full-
scale load testing in a domestic environment but you can still play with 
pretty much everything else, especially now virtual machines readily 
available. If noting else this should give some indication which areas are 
worth pursuing further.
