To me it sounds like you should hide FreeBSD complexities as much as 
possible.
Maybe make a password less account and install something like KDE.
It should even be possible to boot directly into a graphical login.
Basically don't explain them FreeBSD, explain them how to use a graphical 
userinterface.
