Re: Re: I think
@kwhitefoot - "As a one time Unix admin I still think the idea that you should be able log in as root is strange."
That's what many people commenting on this article don't seem to understand, and Linus either. With SUSE, you are not "logging in as root" - you are simply proving to the admin control panel YaST that you have admin privileges by supplying a password. YaST does the work - you are still logged in as a normal user.
I think folks are probably so brainwashed into the Ubuntu way of doing things that maybe they can't grasp the difference any more.
