I don't think of myself as the paranoid kind but many many years ago
I used to think "who's going to be interested in my server" until I was
painfully proven wrong.
He is right to be concerned. Even if the chances that he was hacked during
these few hours are lower because he's not running Windows they are
still not zero and I'd advise him to lookup ways to check his system as much
as he can, just the way he does already.

As for *how* to do this - others (including Lior) game good practical advise.
