it does not suit users of other Linuxes at all. When they use Ubuntu, 
they find they can't do anything which requires root privileges (because 
most of the time they have never even heard of sudo) and they just leave 
it and say "isn't that a crap distro." This has to change.

Furthermore, many major Linux distributions provide these sorts of 
choices, eg. Fedora.
