Does she even know? I doubt she knows what root access is, and prefers other people not imposing their tedium with the default "sudo" command. (wink) I think this is an education challenge. Someday it will be important (when the AI superintelligence has more authority). But, in scroo's defense, we've already established that we don't wait for the user to be educated. I still wish there were post-install configurations to choose from. I've never understood the all-or-nothing approach to these matters. A simple "welcome" screen like Mint utilizes, It could list various scripted configurations (like minimal resource usage; minimal and maximal privacy). These could simply be links to wiki pages describing what to do. I.e., it wouldn't have to be scripted. I think that would foster a big-tent environment (instead of either/or debates where both sides believe they are unequivocally correct -- and the other side entirely wrong). To spare everyone the humiliation of disagreeing with me: I worked with punch cards. :)
