Hi All A little off target but this may add a little clarity. Playing around with different distributions I installed Asianux on one of my test boxes the other day. Now I will not say anything bad about program content it appeared to be excellent for a 2 disk distribution or screen graphics background et.; they also appeared to be excellent. Whit I will comment on [and I repeated the installation because I thought I made a mistake] is that there was no home user defined. After installation I had to log in as root. Apparently this is how quite a few are running the distribution. I was able to ascertain that there was a user not defined by me. I was not able to log into this user not knowing the password. I then searched very diligently through all the GUI based programs for one that allowed me as root to add / substract users. I could find none. Since my two test installations were a week apart and I spent a couple of hours on this each time I am fairly sure that I got a good surface feeling for the distribution and my response is: Thanks but no thanks. I know the issues I mentioned above are trivial to fix. My question is why? Why should I pass my time fixing a distribution that provides so little security that everything is dumped into one partition and one has to log in as root? Thus I currently have 2 nice disks containing Asianux that would be useful as sleets, Frisbees, mirror reflectors et but not as devices to retain programs in MY computer. SOTL
