Recommended Linux Distros

Tuesday, 6. February 2007, 23:49:55

, , , ...

So...I've tried quite a number of different Linux distros, and I'm here to recommend two specific ones which are really worth a try. I'm currently dual booting these two, though the second one is just a backup incase something goes wrong with the first.

1. Fedora Core OS



2. Ubuntu OS

Change root password and login as root - Linux Ubuntu Dapper 6.06

Tuesday, 26. September 2006, 17:57:37

, , ,

By default when you install Ubuntu Dapper Drake, you won't have access to the root account. You can easily change/edit the root password and execute terminal commands as root.

Open up the terminal by going to 'Applications > Accessories > Terminal' from the start menu.

Some of these commands will ask you for a password. When it does, simply use your main account password. That will do the trick.

Change the root password :
sudo passwd root


Become root :
su


And that's it! :wink:
You now have root access from the terminal, and you can also log in as root with the username "root" and the new password you created.
