Les,
This is really a wonderful thing you are doing for your friend! KUDO's to you, Sir!!!
A variation on the recommendation from Reindl Harald, is maybe set up a primary computer for your friend to use, being Fedora, for its useability with a second system running CentOS (which is up to v6.4 these days---very current) to handle the server-side of things. Assuming he has a large enough screen, then the functionality of Fedora might do the trick as his interface between both hosts (desktop and server). Another recommendation that would give him a bit more stability in this case, is to ensure all the updates for Fedora are occurring until its end-of-life, then simply turn off the yum updates. The downside would be no new features, nor updates/patches. In his case that might be worthwhile!
Wishing you both the best as you go down this road!

Subject: Creating a server with Fedora 18
I have a friend who is vision impaired. He recently got enough of his
sight back to begin working on his systems again, and is interested in
setting his servers up on Fedora 18. His last version was 10 (long
storage in between).
Is there a site, blog or tutorial that would be easy for him to use with
a screen reader or would have it broken down as a series of steps to
help him get going (I know nothing of server setups now, so I cannot
offer much help.)
Among the things he mentioned was:
Web manager.
Reverse DNS.
Unfortunately we were driving and I couldn't take coherent notes.
Regards,
Les Howell
