But I bet $100 that the first linux virus will be spread by ubuntu users.

I'll bet $ 1,000 the first linux virus will be detected and systems patched before any significant damage is done.

I was pretty much a windows drone all my life, until about a month ago, my hardware went to shit, I got bored and installed Ubuntu 5.04, updated and installed KDE... and now it's my primary OS. The only thing keeping me from completely ditching Windows is certain essential TTF fonts not properly working in Photoshop under Crossover Office... Ubuntu may take a certain amount of getting used to, but it certainly beats the living shit out of Win9x.

The Ubuntu developers decided (and rightly so) that having a seperate "administrator" account called some foreign term like "root" would confuse most freshly Windowsified (definition: sick and fucking sick of M$) desktop users. They decided that sudo served most any purpose a typical GUI-user might have. They made it so that the root account was hidden (still existing) yet not a loginable account.

Solution? $ sudo passwd

DONE! YAY!! heehee now all you have to do is login as root and set the icons otherwise they ALL (folders, documents, script, pics, vids, etc.) default to blank page pixmaps when you su or sudo into nautilus or transversely you could copy .gnome from your home directory into /root.

Pathos:
does sudo need a password on ubuntu?
