It annoys me as well. The fact that I have to enter the password after
It's a very poor (prescriptive and arrogant) design decision. People
using a distro like 64Studio are likely able to make an informed
choice. Creating a root account should be an install option, and it
should be _enabled_ by default.
The root account has been created. All that is missing is a password.
I still don't see the arrogance of this. Using sudo is a good habit to
get into, what exactly is the problem with encouraging new users to
develop good habits?
I'm with Gustin on this one. At first I didn't like Ubuntu's insistence
on sudo, but it doesn't matter to me now. The only times I need su
privileges are when I'm performing administative tasks, mostly
installing stuff from repos or my own builds. Everything is still
copacetic here. :)
Best,
