[K12OSN] Ubuntu question quick - Dave?

[musicman]

In relation to this, I'm on the kubuntu list - this is how ubuntu
works at the moment, but it getting a lot of flack from linux people,
who are used to a root account. In (K)Ubuntu, there is a utility or
system in the menu called "root terminal" from there you can log in
with your personal password, or you can sudo, but there is no
(currently) su or root account that is accessible....


Hope this helps

L.
