I don't know if this is something on the Fedora roadmap, but a
graphical version of Fedup would go a long way toward making many
users more comfortable updating their Fedora system.
While I'm not crazy about updating every six months, Fedora's practice
of continually pushing new kernels into "stable" releases combined
with the fact that changes over six months are by nature less radical
than those over two (or four or five) years should mean that the
chances of an upgrade from version to version succeeding are higher.
Especially for new hardware, Fedora works very, very well because you
get new kernels and other bits all the time, and you don't necessarily
have to wait for the next distro release to start seeing things work
better.

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.
