Yeah, you need to be administrator to install software in linux systems. However this is one of Linux' best points. Only administrators can install or remove software, so everything is under control in your disk. Is really a good thing (tm) to be able to install, remove or update everything even without noticing? > I'm not speaking about installing a web server or a subversion repository, > just "home" and "office" user software. The problem is: what are home and office user software. Is Konqueror user software? How do you separate them? Would you let users install programs in their home folders? I think installing software is an important and system task. The user should notice this, and I guess he notices when he realizes it is an administrator task. In any case, "To install this softwaer you need to be administrator. Please enter your administrator password" looks secure and elegant enough to me. -- Francisco Joaquín Rodríguez Prados Fachbereich Informatik, Fachhochschule Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Appeal mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/appeal
