Hi,
I'm sorry but for me, some distributions don't force you to create another user then root. And for a server it's really critical to have only root as user and to do simple task with your root account. You can set your root password after each installation easily . After installation: - Login with your user. - sudo su (enter the password) - passwd Like this you have first your root password and if needed from time to time you can use it. --- Regards, Le mardi 23 octobre 2007 à 22:17 -0500, Keller, Damon A SPC MIL USA FORSCOM a écrit : > That's one of the resions why I play with other distros more these > days. > Ubuntu never asks you to set a root when you install.
