I tried Kubuntu in the hopes of using it instead of windows xp for doing simple stuff like surfing the net. It was all going fine until I tried buring a cd. Getting the burner software installed was easy. I poped in a blank cd the software could not see it. I eventually found a place where could right click to mount it. Now it would not let me because I was not in root. What is this? I have no root password? Garbage. What am I supposed to do? Logout. login as root, mount the cdrom, logout, hope to god its still mounted when i log back in regular mode. I read not to log in as root full time so I tried not to. This is where linux fails. Its just me using the machine. There is no sys admin here that I can see. Once linux gets rid of the login crap i'll try it again. If anyone else has troubles like me, the fix is to format the drive and install windows. No need to login or to remember a root password to configure things.
