| Looking for the root password as well. I am not really interested in running an OS where someone else knows the root password and I don't have it. |

| Come on guys. You really need to try to learn a bit more about Ubuntu before making accusations like that. Please use Google to learn about managing Ubuntu with "Sudo" for commands that require Super User privilege. The password is: tuxdistro. This torrent has been distributed on just about every torrent site with about 900k downloads. Don't you think it odd that only a couple of people including the last poster is having a problem? Sudo Sudo Sudo - tuxdistro. Look at the first two posts where the guy actually was able to realize his mistake. |

| The sudo command
If you have come across Linux, you are probably aware of the command line. Ubuntu puts a lot of reliance upon the sudo command while working at the command line. This command is used in front of other commands to tell Ubuntu that you want to run the specified command with super user powers. This sounds really special, and it actually is. When you work using the sudo command, you can make wide-ranging changes to your system that impact the way it runs. Be extra careful when running any command prefixed with sudo, however; a wrong
option or incorrect command can have devastating consequences. The use of sudo is straightforward. All you have to do is enter it like this:
$ sudo command commandoptions
Just replace the word command with the command that you want to run, along with any options. For example, the following command opens your xorg.conf file in vi and enables you to make any changes as the super user before being able to save it:
$ sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Whenever you execute a command using sudo, you are prompted for your password. This is the same password that you use to log in to Ubuntu, so it is important that you remember it. Sometimes, however, you may want to work with a classic root prompt instead of having to type sudo in front of every command (perhaps if you have to work with lots of commands at the command line that require super-user access, for example). sudo enables you to do this by using the sudo -i command. Again, you are prompted for your password, which you should enter, after which Ubuntu gives you the standard root prompt, as follows:
#
From here, you can execute any command without having to keep entering sudo.
The Root User
If you’ve used other Linux distros then you are likely to be a little puzzled by the use of the sudo command. In short, Ubuntu allows the first user on the system access to full root privileges through the sudo command. It also disables the root account so no one can actually login with the username root.
In other Linux distros you would change to the root user by issuing the command su - followed by the root password. This will land you at the root prompt,
which is shown as a pound sign (#). From here you are able to execute any command you wish. To get to a root prompt in Ubuntu you need to execute the command sudo -i which, after you enter your password, will give you the prompt so familiar to
other Linux distros. When you’ve finished working as root just type exit and hit Enter to get back to a normal user prompt ($). |

| It is a default install if that helps. No additional packages were selected. I do not believe that those compilers are part of the default selection. |
