Yeah, that's not really the same as true root. Anyone in ubuntu can,
by default, become root user using this method. Only when one user
first changes the sudoers list can that one user become true root.
And, like I've said before, that's still not the same. He's right,
the security (such as setting up user permissions and granting
authorizations) is sloppier in ubuntu than in a more traditional
distro. But, on the other hand, the computer users targeted by Ubuntu
aren't intended to be computer savvy, so if it works and is easy for
people who don't really know, then that's fine.
