Â :unsure: Have you sent Ubuntu Developers an e-mail telling them not to tie your hands and not allowing you to log in as root after install? :unsure: Â You got to give that one to me, that was some funny stuff........ :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 all you have to do is give root a password, which is something I change regularly anyway, so I don't see any relation here next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Anyway, you apparently lost your funny bone getting all worked up about something that isn't even there so I'll leave it alone. Â Â To be tied or not to be tied that is the question. Â to restrain from independence or freedom of action or choice : constrain by or as if by authority, influence, agreement, or obligation You got root? You got source? Your not tied? Â Ping Pong, next up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 echo you miss the point when this is all said and done you will have to edit source and compile half your system to have the power of linux. Tha's not friendly, that's not, easy, that's not desktop, that's not marketing, that's the complete opposite of what linux needs to be concentrating on right now. The top of the stairs will have a locked door (M$). Screw source and compiling. I can't remember that last time I compiled anything other than an engine or alpha app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I don't beleive RedHat/Novell is concerned about selling a box'd version to userA  Enterprise Desktop? Between you, me and the fence post, there going to be locked down more than even userA being able to run gdesklets.  I have no idea were your going with this one............it's over.......admit........defeat.....for.....once........................ :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 the poll, first post spell it out for ya the results of the poll suggest root is a landslide winner no defeat here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 root should be all powerful, but the posts in this thread suggest that they answered the poll in a general way and really don't care that the developers of Application A stop root from running it without editing source. It's simply a non-issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 the poll, first post spell it out for yathe results of the poll suggest root is a landslide winner no defeat here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never said root couldn't do anything, thats why I said over and over and over that you can grab/edit the source. Developers can do what they want with the original source and you can change/whatever since they were nice enough to open it. You keep arguing that they shouldn't do that yet you haven't gave a good reason why I can't write code, lock out root from executing it and giving you the code to change and do what you want, but my original design would to be lock out root. Â Here is another for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
