For the last several weeks I have been setting up and learning a system that does the same as under Vista, a few things more with less hassle.
The system does not let me log on as root and I am forced to either SUDO or SU. As an experiment I created an administrative account, thinking it would give me the same access level as root.

I was satisfied that the username did not show anymore when logging in at start up. It was only a couple of days later that I noticed that I could not power off the system but that it went in hibernation. A couple of "forced" shut downs and reboots corrected this problem but sudo still does not work.
The su command still works.
