If he uses Linux and has no intention of using windows, I don't think he needs rEFIt, am I wrong?

He needs it, otherwise how will he boot to the linux partition?

I figured he'd use bootcamp assistant to make a partition, then using a live disc or thumb drive setup linux on that partition.

Maybe that doesn't work, I haven't tried, which is exactly why I'm asking.
