Root password???

[Alfred Vahau]

This being a most frequent FAQ and with the growing popularity of Ubuntu 
and the
imminent release of Dapper, it is suggested that the Dapper installer 
provide for
documentation on Ubuntu's philosophy on the root password and point the user
to URL https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo as was pointed out in one of the 
replies.
