Come on, U know it doesn't matter.  I've got root enabled on all of my
Ubuntu machines.  The password is different from the one that I use for
my personal account, of cos. My personal account has no administrative
privileges so whenever I need to attend to an administrative task, I'll
just start up a terminal window and hit "su", or alternatively login as
root.

I've got remote login disabled, all my computers are behind my router,
and I'm the only person capable of doing any real damage to my
computers.  What could possibly go wrong? :-)
