Yeah, it's the same in Linux. Doing any system admin type stuff, from changing network settings to installing software, all takes at least one extra step. Most of the stuff I run into requires just entering the admin password, and you're good to go (this option is using 'sudo'). On occasion I have to switch to an admin user, but Linux makes this easy (just type 'su' at the command prompt, and after entering the correct password, you're now in a full admin user environment, command-line only of course.) I hope Vista is that easy.
