Thank you Johnny.
The lady I am trying to help does not even want to have to do
any updates. She wants it all so atutomatic, that once I configure
her network, and her desktop icons, she wants the installation to
maintain itself.
In a lot of ways, windoze does this for their users, albeit, does not
protect them from malware.
There are plenty of relatively inexpensive Android tablets with the Linux inside and with
fully automatic update.
The perfect opportunity to get rid of maintenance and extend the life span. ;)
