Not necessarily. On my Mandriva system using KDE, any attempt to install
software results in a password dialog asking for the root password. KDE has a
small background process which detects when root privileges are needed. I
would expect that Gnome has the same.

I have always thought the Setup Guide was mis-named. To me it is an
installation guide. "Setup" suggests it includes things after

Ah, the power of UNIX-like operating system (which Linux is just one) is

The first step in the Linux and Solaris installations is "su to become
