Hi All.
I thought it appropriate to chime in with some comments for the list as
it appears that it may be useful for people who are new to using mailing
lists for communication.
Top Posting is explained in this Wikipedia entry:

Ubuntu doesn't come with an available root account. Instead it creates
a primary user with sudo access for administration purposes.
"su" will require the root password (which I believe in Ubuntu is a very
long random string by default, and unlikely to be guessed). Similarly,

The main reason is that it logs all package changes (well, the
intentions anyway) in /var/log/aptitude. This is good for retracing

When I run the command "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", and give it the

I have a friend that wants to dump Vista and try Ubuntu on her laptop.

Thanks,

Hi all,
I'm just setting up a Ubuntu server for the first time and am having some
trouble (I think). Does Ubuntu have a desktop manager for the system, something
that looks like normal Ubuntu? If so, how do I get to it. I can get as far as
putting my login info into a black and white screen.
