To paraphrase Goatboy, ubuntu isn't necessarily
meant for corporate servers, etc--it's nicknamed "linux for human beings" for a reason, after all. It's meant to give an introduction to linux to people who have only used windows their entire lives (like me two years ago). For that purpose, it certainly does its job.
Secondly, to solve your problem of having to use "f**king sudo," try this command:
- Code: Select all
sudo passwd root
That will make a root account by giving it a password. Or perhaps:
- Code: Select all
sudo su
which will simply give you a root shell prompt.
Problem solved. Convenient, huh?
