Not really. In Ubuntu, there is still an almighty root account with all consequences and hiding it does not change that. If you really want to move in the direction of solving the problem, you should rather learn SELinux, not praise Ubuntu for their pseudosecurity games.
That's what the word "accessible" was for. That was the reason I inserted it. You did notice it, right?
Yes there is a root account, but you can't log in, can't ``su'' to it or anything else.
Sure you can. The only difference between Ubuntu and distros not based upon it is its installer does not demand root's password be set before proceeding with installation. Once installed, simply sudo passwd root and root's accessible just like any senior distro.
This is an example of a pragmatic improvement.
Not really. When there's a series of commands needed requiring root access, sudo space password must be prepended/appended for each command. It also makes search results confusing according to whether using a sudo installation or not, and whether the results assume it or not or make its need explicit, and which method a helper chooses or remembers whether needed in making a response to a help request. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
