Hello fellow Ubuntu user (Ubuntuer? Ubunter??). My name is Robin and just wanna say hi to all the people here on the list. I currently live in Auckland and switched to Ubuntu since Breezy and am planning to do a bit of computer fixing and Ubuntu spreading in the School Holidays (which is exactly one week away for me. Woohoo!). It's just an idea but maybe there could be like a region Ubuntu master that advertises for Ubuntu installation and earn a bit of money from servicing computers and installing Ubuntu on it? Cheers, Robin I live in Auckland too, but don't have any spare time these holidays until February... Who else is from Auckland? <div>On 11/22/06, <a href="mailto:ubuntu-nz-request@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-nz-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-nz-request@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-nz-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Send ubuntu-nz mailing list submissions to         <a href="mailto:ubuntu-nz@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-nz@lists.ubuntu.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit         <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-nz"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-nz</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to         <a href="mailto:ubuntu-nz-request@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-nz-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at         <a href="mailto:ubuntu-nz-owner@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-nz-owner@lists.ubuntu.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-nz digest..."

I don't know how to set up other ones for my family, so I was wondering if it is possible to do this? Thanks Tyler -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks System -> Administration -> Users and Groups Also, if you make them members of the 'admin' group they will also be able to become root with the 'sudo' command - presumably something you don't want to hand out to everyone, but worth knowing.
