Funny you should mention Ubuntu, as I downloaded Kubuntu last night. I
tried the "Live" version.
Problem was, when I tried to configure my DSL account, it wanted "root"
permission. Except there was no place to enter or even set up a root
username/password. It boots into the user account. I tried ending the
session and see if a root account was available, no such luck.
Any ideas????
