Nice. Ubuntu is pretty sweet.
I just put gOS on my computer today. I really like it. I've used at least 2 dozen distros in the past. and this one is among my favorites so far. I could watch videos and listen to music right away -- which is NICE. It's pretty clean too. And speedy.
You have to love multiple desktops too.

Did she set the password for root to default (root)? I know, kind of an obvious question...
You could also try using 'sudo' instead of becoming root.

I used to use Linux - had Ubuntu set up.
It was alright, it was fun to try but I found it very complicated!

To put it simply "sudo" is kind of like a pseudo-root... It allows you to take actions only a root user can do, while still remaining a general user.Tongue33;3132238; said:I'm lost? And I have no clue if she did those things
I'm not too sure if Fedora allows sudo users root priveleges...
For instance, in a terminal, if I wanted to install 'firefox' I would type the code (for fedora only):
sudo yum install firefox
It would then ask for a password (which you would give the password you log in with), and as long as your username is on the sudoers list, it will allow you to act as root while not actually being root.
Let me know if I lost you again. lol
