30 Days With Ubuntu

The article says: "With one click, it brought up the software updates
application and installed them. It prompted me for the root password I
had provided in order to make the changes (like Mac OSX) and
automatically started installing all the updates."

Why does everyone get this wrong?!  Perhaps we need to have better
information about this in the installer.  (it's not the root password,
it's one's own password that sudo asks for)
