Xandros admin user

[ChiPPy]

Does anyone know how to set up a user as an admin under Xandros? I have tried playing around in the user settings, but can't seem to get it right. Since I am the only one who uses this computer, I would rather set myself up to be automatically admin, instead of having to enable it all the time.

I'm guessing you want to run your machine as root everytime you log in..
While possible, I would advise against it. Since runing as root gives you virtually unrestricted access to whole system, every program/script you run will execute with root privileges. That can pose security threat as well as seriously screw it up.
While a bit of a pain to get used to coming from Windows, good multiuser system is actually a good thing.
You should be running as normal user using root privileges only when required, like system config, program installs, etc.

Those are good points you mentioned, and ones I did not consider. I'm trying to migrate from Windows to Linux, and this is my first real step, installing Xandros. Once I get comfortable with it, I'll look in to the darker side of things, like command lines. I come from a Dos 3.xx begining, so I'm hoping it's not going to take me long.:)
