There have been some comments recently about helping people who are perhaps considering moving over to Linux. Mostly the suggested version of Linux is (k)ubuntu. Perhaps I have misunderstood something, but here are my thoughts. I have never tried ubuntu, but I have read a lot of reviews and comments about it and one of the surprises was that there is apparently no need to have root password. I have always understood that one of the main advantages to Linux over Windows is that normal users, not knowing the root password, cannot cause any accidental (or malicious) damage to the system files. If this is not the case with ubuntu then perhaps that is not a good version to suggest. Or am I not understanding something?
