automate
the updates, so she will not have to interact with the process at all.
I don't know how PCLinuxOS handles updates, but generally speaking
you either need to supply the root password (or, if you're in the
wheel group your password) to authorize installing the updates. Is
this going to be an issue, or is it something she's willing to put up
with?
In any event, please keep us informed. I doubt that I'm the only one
here other than you who gets asked about installing/using Linux by
people who want to get away from Windows but want something that Just
Works. Up until now, I've been pointing them at Ubuntu, but if
PCLinuxOS is even easier, that gives me another option.
When you develop an automatic update routine for PCLOS, it would be
good if you would post it, preferably on the PCLinuxOS Forum, or if
not, then here, and
with your permission, I will pass it on to the Forum.

Hi Doug,
So far, I have only found this for automatic updates, but it is not
sufficient for my intentions:
*4. Enable Automatic Updates*
Open the Configure your Computer (PCLinuxOS Control Center)
Click on System
Click on Manage System Services
Check APT to start at boot
Click on Start
Click OK
