General :: Disable Passwords And Security?
Dec 15, 2010I use Ubuntu on my netbook, which I uses for browsing and email. It's way faster than the Windows which came on the machine. That's a nice feature, as is the price.
I like it except for the constant, perpetual, ever-present, super-annoying need to be entering passwords and "becoming root user" and so on. I am the only one using this appliance. I don't even care if someone steals it, really. There must be some way (I hope) of disabling this idea that I am a CIA agent with TopSecret materials.
I just want a simple, easy to use appliance. If not Ubuntu, is there any distro that is aimed at normal people?
