>but there's no time then to update the software.  Unless I remember to do
it later, it doesn't get patched.

yup it does require some attention one way or another.  ubuntu made it easy
as possible, there's a checkbox at install to do automatic updates, and
when you shutdown it waits if automatic updates are in progress.  i'm sure
there must be a way to start that if you don't want to reinstall.  i never
use that feature tho, i always prefer to launch updates so i know when they
happen.  you could do that during the meetings.  you could even take it as
an exercise to write a script that always prompts you for approval whenever
you login, and then proceeds to do unattended updates.  perhaps someone
already has one to share..
