Sure, maybe. Maybe `ls - R' is "enough", or plain `find'. Hard to tell. It all depends on what he wants to do, and how often he wants to do it. That's why I (too) mentioned the Emacs `find*' commands, as well as the general Wiki page on different ways to locate files (including `find-dired' etc.): There are other packages that also let you locate files, in different ways. See http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/LocateFilesAnywhere. And you can of course use the various forms of the Unix or GNU/Linux `find' command that are available in Emacs - see the Emacs manual for that. That Wiki page is a good place to start, no matter what he really wants to do wrt locating a file.
