Hi, That seems like a very bad idea for security to encourage _everything_ to be done as root and some desktop environments would complain The Ubuntu and others model of creating one user and giving that user sudo powers means only one user on the system. Every Unix system is inherently multi-user/multi role, I think. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
