I'm fine with updates, but as I mentioned elsewhere it is problem when 
inexperienced user has to look update running 1 or more hours. Fact that it 
is worse with another OS doesn't help much, because they seldom see how it is 
to update, for instance XP. Either, they bring computer to service and after 
a day, or two, pick it up, or they never run any update, just reload XP from 
vendor's image, which is fast. 

It seems good candidate for Geeko needs you! 
Someone that already did it should take mentorship, to help with problems that 
prospective volunteers can hit.
