How are things going choosing a logo etc? I am more than happy to
print some A3 colour posters, and then ship them to someone who will
be there on Wednesday as I am going Thursday.
The latest I can print them is lunch time Monday, as next day delivery
will get them to someone on Tuesday morning.

To run gedit as a 'super user', traditionally called 'root' on a Linux
system, just start a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then enter your password you log on with.

Either:
Open the Text Editor (Applications/Accessories/Text Editor)
Click file / open.
Select of the left, File System. Then on the right navigate to etc,
and then to X11.
Find xorg.conf in the list. Select it and click open.
OR:
Open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal)
Type:
pico
If you open a Terminal session (Applications/Accessories/Terminal), type:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/
If you cd to the Program Files directory or wherever it installed to,
you can load the program via wine from there. Tab completion works

How about Ubuntu Christmas cards? A Linux/Ubuntu orientated picture

As others have said, the Ubuntu way is to put the hammer down when you
are not using it by using sudo. This makes perfect sense, and is the
prefered way of doing things. Doing things to the root account is not
advised.

Hi topokin,
There are two ways to get root access.
In the console, type: sudo suand enter your users
