on windows it's not possible to attach the device with itunes on
different computers without loosing all files. (I think there are 3rd
party tools for that, but no idea how they are called)
I have seen Ubuntu with Rhythmbox working out of the box without loosing
all songs - just attach and copy the files to the disk.
Not sure on debian, afaik it did not work flawlessy on Lenny, but i
think it could work out of the box with Squeeze. There is a plugin on
Squeeze's Rhythmbox - Portable Players iPod.

If it does not work - maybe these links are useful:

IIRC, there is no real good answer for linux. I think rythmbox has some capabilities (that can be enabled or configured). You could also jailbreak it and just scp stuff over (though you might need to hack around with plist xml files). Itunes on windows is an option (though I'm not sure how to handle account security or drm issues here). Also, if you go that route, you're not really going to be able to keep your music synced up. If your computer can handle it, you might research into running itunes inside of a windows virtual box session.

Actually it is. The most important factor is the source of the songs.
If they were bought on iTunes more than a year and a half ago, then
they are most likely laden with iTunes' DRM (the songs have a .m4p
extension). Anyway, I digress. I know that if you go into iTunes and
open the iPod's page, and then select "enable disk use" then you can
just copy all the files over (they'll be nested pretty deeply, just
look for a bunch of folders containing possibly yet more folders which
contain a bunch of four-letter filenames). After you copy them you
should be able to drag them into iTunes. If you go the linux route you
SHOULD be able to just connect the ipod and open the folder. I'm
running Sid with LXDE, and opening up the file manager allowed me
_read_only_ access to the iPod, with no fancy command-line mount
required. However, it did connect with an extremely slow protocol,
which appeared to take more time to copy the files than accessing it as
a USB device on windows (disclaimer: subjective experience, may have
had to do with better hardware on winbox).

So to wrap up, the files are on there, all you need to do is get read
access and copy it over. No fancy third party program needed. The
files are all correctly tagged, so they should play with a quick drag
and/or import into -insert favorite music player here- as long as -said
music player- has support for the MPEG-4 codec. Note that these codecs
are patent-encumbered, so they might be in multiverse. I think the
package for the gstreamer powered applications is gstreamer-plugins-bad
or something. And if they're DRM protected, then I can make a torrent
that contains the software to take off the DRM (requiem)- note that
this requires installing an early version of itunes (i think) and only
works on windows.

I use gtkpod. Works like a champ. You'd have to plug in your son's iPod
first and transfer the files to your computer, then plug your iPod in
and copy them to it off your computer.

Having said that, I don't have any music that was purchased and might
have DRM stuff. All my music is classical that I ripped myself from my
CD collection. I don't know what gtkpod will do with DRM. Also, my iPod
is several years old, so I don't know if there might be a problem with
newer models. But gtkpod is in the repos, so it'll only take a
couple minutes to give it a shot.

one thing you need to know about gtkpod. the ipod has to have been
formatted for use under windoze. if it's mac formatted it has hfs, or
some variation thereof, and gtkpod can't seem to deal with it.

FYI.
