It's a default from Debian. The expert installer probably allows configuring sudo by default. > Is there a > security advantage here? It is unlike Trisquel or Ubuntu and I'm > curious why. I think there isn't; sudo has usability improvements and can be configured for more secure uses (e.g. allowing some users access to only some commands, or some passwordless commands). > What is the most efficient way of granting that user sudo > privileges after an installation? "gpasswd -a USER sudo" will add the user to the "sudo" group which probably is used for this. Check /etc/sudoers if it is.
