Since win4lin cost 89 and the computer is going to be used by the "less computer literate people" then why not buy a copy of xp home for 85$, http://www.directron.com/windowxp.html
It will save you alot of trouble of trying to learn and teach the other people how to use it. And if you still want to try linux you can always dual boot it with windows.
