The OEM install actually creates a temporary sudoer account called 'oem' 
which you can use to run updates, install new software and make 
configurations. I guess that I /could/ enable the root account. I have 
mixed feelings about that though.

Yes. I think that it would be most unusual for an OEM to also admin. And 
really, the main reason why I'd like to admin is to upgrade him to 
Dapper when it comes out.

Maybe I should just leave him with Breezy.

Best,
Daniel.
