....Strange, I never had to change sudoers after setting a root password. On *buntu system, to use sudo you just need the user be member of groups admin and sudo. For the other features you gotin pclos like rolling the mouse on the desktop to change workspace, you can set up gnome to work like this, or use KDE that is doing this by default. And I have no limitations of workspace number. I currently have only two on the EMC machine (running 9.04) and 6 on my laptop running 11.04 Another approach to make your pclos and ubuntu boxes to talk, you can change your UID to 1000 on the pclos box ? :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
