Ubuntu is designed for Linux newbies, those conditioned to the Windows way of working. Give them a root password and they will soon get fed up with typing it whenever they need to do $something and just log into the desktop as root. It is easy enough to enable root access in Ubuntu, but you do have to work out how to break it for yourself. -- Neil Bothwick Diarrhoea is hereditary, it runs in your genes.
