What kind of guidance specifically?

I assume he runs OpenSSH server on his Linux host. Then you can use any
terminal emulator to connect to that server remotely.

Some terminal emulator software examples (all free or open source):

Linux (from most favourite to least favourite):
* Konsole (part of the KDE suite)
* Gnome terminal (part of the Gnome desktop suite)
* XFCE terminal (part of the XFCE desktop)
* urxvt
* xterm
I also always use a terminal multiplexer like tmux, or the aging GNU
screen if tmux isn't available for some reason.

Windows:
* Putty. There's nothing better.

Mac OSX:
* the included terminal emulator, I forgot what it's called, but it's there=
..

Or was your question more along the lines of "what is a terminal emulator"?
