Thanks for the info, Charles.

I actually found that, once you enter the root password once during a session, it doesn’t ask you for it again. Therefore, that’s not that big of an issue, but I do have to remember to type sudo each time I want to perform a root action (I’ll try your suggestion, though, to see if that makes a difference).

Just getting started with Mint myself, and found your review very useful.

On your complaint about having to use sudo repeatedly if you’re giving a series of commands, try this:

sudo su

Give the password once, and you can continue working as su.
