Enable updates for a single user

[Vincenzo Campanella]

Hi Mike

Thank you for your reply.

I will try to teach to my customer to use the command line; however, as 
he has never worked with Linux (he has got Windows XP and I am trying to 
push him, along with other customers, to switch to Linux), I am not so 
sure he can do that.

Do you know how this can be done working in a graphical environment such 
as Gnome?
