SUDO

[Matt Christian]

Quick note:

We are in the process of deploying Linux to selected desktops in our
organization as the first step in a phased approach to introduce Linux
into our main-stream desktop set.

I installed Kubuntu on a couple test boxes, and at first blush it
rocks, however ...
I soon discovered that I deeply resent Ubuntu's premise that users are
too stupid to be trusted with root access.

I've been a System Admin for many years and know how to responsibly
use root in a production environment.  We are a 24/7 shop and  heave
several Sun and Linux servers in our data center.

Flame me if you will, but the fact remains; Free and Open operating
system somehow don't feel 'free and open'  when someone else is
dictating what level of access the end user can and can't have. 
Reminds me of another desktop operating system I use from.... Redmond.
