I have done a install of Kubuntu just to see how it work, I'm a straight Fedora user and no desire to move to Ubuntu, I just want to see how it works as far as SU goes. In ubuntu , can any user type in sudo -s and get root privileges ? For Security reasons this distro scares me. I teach Linux at locale libraries and wanted to get a feel for ubuntu before I can say yea or nay. And I don't want to go threw a bunch of hassles to track down a Ubuntu forum just to ask one question about a distro that I'm not going to permanently use.

Hi Jim Tate! "Sudo" is probably a good approace to help many issues of security. Please note the benafits and downsides in the following aritcal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo Your other questions are answered there as well I believe. Also of interest: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategorySecurity I am in the middle of seeing how selinux is used in ubuntu and what other security software they recommend. Be happy to hear what you conclude! Tod
