Hi All,

Newbie Ubuntu-ite here.  So far so good, although I
have a few questions, but one at a time.

I've been a Mandrake/Mandriva user since I ditched
the dreaded MS four or five years ago.  I just
thought I'd try Ubuntu (7.04) alongside my Mandriva
2005 on my laptop.

I'm used to the Mandriva way (as with most other
distros) of having a 'root' account and then all the
other 'user' accounts.  The Ubuntu method of asking
for your 'user' password to then allow you to go off
and create system-wide mayhem is really not suitable
when you have curious kids. Again, typing 'sudo' and
being asked for your 'user' password doesn't strike
me as very secure.

Is it easy to make Ubuntu behave in a similar fashion
to Mandriva and if so how?

Regards,

Andy Jenkins.
