ubuntu linux

[Josh]

Hi,
It says when you reboot a user dialog will appear. What if you don't want to 
have a username and password and you just want to run as administrator? or 
is that a bad thing? Are there antivirus programs for ubuntu? Are there 
speech friendly OCR programs for linux that will work with the epson 
perfection 3170 scanners?
