>From my experience of Ubuntu, it automatically checks for updates and
notifies you with an icon. All one has to do is click the icon, and
then click the update button in the dialog and Ubuntu downloads and
installs the updates automatically. Pretty much as simple as you can
get, other than it automatically downloading and installing the
updates with informing the user at all!

I'd imagine harder tasks would be installing new packages. Synaptic
Package Manager is very good application for installing and management
packages and is fairly intuitive, although it may take newbies a
little time getting used to.
