What I have done with a Fedora box is setup is to remove anything except what is required on the desktop and setup what is needed to work out to the box. Put large icons on the desktop for the common actions. Increase panel size and fonts and disable notifications as much as possible. Then wrote some documentation with screenshots and FAQ as a quick introductory guide. Works fine.
