There are two ways you can insert or type foreign language characters or
accents. I do it for German.
Using ASCII codes you can type a code and get the character you want. My
dad used to keep an ASCII chart next to his monitor to do this with
German.
In MS products (Office) and I assume WordPerfect (although it was done
differently) and Open Office you use insert symbol and then use the chart
to insert the symbol you want.
Again I use this method when in Office to insert foreign language
characters. It gets fun in Hebrew and Greek when you need to do this.

I can type accents, cedillas, umlauts, tildas, etc. on my US keyboard--so
can you. I can switch keyboard language configurations with one simple
keyboard command. I wouldn't buy a strictly azerty keyboard/notebook.
Azerty is Belgian. If you can wait until July, I'll check when I'm in
France to see what's sold. [ ç á è ö ñ å ø ] Where is this person?
In France? Belgium? Quebec? Be sure they know they can get a keyboard skin
with different keyboard layout than what's built-in when they want to
switch. Are you sure they're not bilingual/trilingual? Many people outside
the US are.
If they never leave the house, sure, consider the azerty keyboard version
[ask them first], but they're likely to share the notebook when
vacationing in Ibiza or Izmir. Or they might leave the notebook at home
and use Internet cafés with local keyboards and be confused by those
keyboards.
Are the novice computer users ready to deal with Linux? Is it user
friendly enough? Can they get support? eeepc is very portable. Is it big
enough for home use? Good choice of software, though.
