Yes, Alan, you're right, I'm on a single-user machine. I apologize, I
should have made it clear. Indeed, I can see that in a multi-users
machine sudo is useful. I just don't agree on the Ubuntu policy of
using sudo instead of root by default, assuming that it provides more
security.
Ubuntu is designed for Linux newbies, those conditioned to the Windows
way of working. Give them a root password and they will soon get fed up
with typing it whenever they need to do $something and just log into the
desktop as root. It is easy enough to enable root access in Ubuntu, but
you do have to work out how to break it for yourself.
I worked it out then. lol
