ubuntu has funny way of using root., don't like it prefer being able
to log in as root with a password.
this is my first experience with ubuntu,, have used redhat and Suse
and corel years ago and a few others  this was an update from Suse
10.0

I'm beginning to suspect that the easiest short term cure is to save
documents and other data and just reload ubuntu and maybe use gnome
for a while.

??? thanks
