One option that I failed to mention with sidux. If everything is
working, you could just avoid updates and reinstall in a year or so.
Some of the sidux developers distribute systems that way for untrained
clients.

Also with sidux, for the most part it doesn't really require a high
level of experience. If you follow their instructions about upgrading
(see sidux manual), it's pretty cut and dried. The only thing likely
to give you grief, is the fact that from time to time Debian releases
packages to sid that have failing dependencies. When you encounter
that, just wait a few days and try again.

As long as you provide exact details (it's broke won't cut it), the
folks on the sidux forum will be quite helpful.
