SUDO

[Erik Bågfors]

Is this a joke? Do you want to remove all security for everyone using
linux? What would be the use of that?

If you want to give all users full access that's doable with ONE line
in the sudoers file.  It's also possible to remove that they require
to put a password whenever they want to do something as root.

There is no difference here in ubuntu than in any other linux dist.
Ubuntu uses sudo but that's just a different approach to becomming
root.  In all else it's the same as any other dist. It's also very
easy to enable normal root usage.
