I don't think that there is a rpm but the install is not hard. I have been evaluating it at work. Currently we have SurfControl running on a Windows Server. DG seems to filter more and work better and faster. The SurfControl costs $1000 bucks for 50 users.

You will also need to install squid as a proxy server first

For him to learn Linux, he will need root access but if he has root access, he will be able to turn off the filter. What you might want to do is have the proxy server running on a different machine so he can have root access to his but not the proxy server.
