It is probably best if he uses the facilities of his distro or else he will have problems whenever his kernel is updated (not a big deal, more annoying than anything. This is what I did when I had to suffer with nVidia hardware).
On GNOME there is a "hardware drivers" applet in "System -> Administration" where you can configure the restricted hardware drivers. I am not sure if KDE 4 has an equivalent application. You can always install these things via apt/aptitude/synaptic etc. sudo aptitude search nvidia will show you which packages are available for install. Use whatever package manager you prefer. There are a number of different driver versions available, I believe that the Vanta is considered a "legacy" device by nVidia, so you may need to consult the nvidia.com site to figure out which driver to use.
