As you've noticed, Ubuntu is about making things more straight forward---and
more secure at the same time.

If you find you can't do an operation you'd like to do, use 'sudo' in front:

  sudo apt-get update

and enter your password to confirm that you want to perform the action.  If
you select Administration tasks from the Menus at the top of the screen you
will find exactly the same.

Hope that helps,

	-Paul
