"..For the fortunes you need to edit your bashrc..."

However, by default, there is NO .bashrc, correct?

Love the new look, Clem. Nice work!

Last night I was installing Windows 7 RC on my Dell Latitude D810. Though it is a HUGE improvement over Vista, I was left feeling empty and not fully satisfied. Then today while at a client, I went to distrowatch and saw Mint 7 RC1. As soon as I got home I downloaded it and installed it on the same laptop. For a minute I was tempted to dual boot............I didn't. This distro is awesome and I feel completely at home now. Sorry Windows 7. Maybe it just took too long for MS to release a decent OS.

By the way, if anyone want to enable the root acocunt, or change its password you should do the following:

Code: Select all

sudo passwd

This will first ask you for your password (sudo) and THEN for the new UNIX password you want to use for the root account. After that you should be able to switch to the superuser account by using

Code: Select all

su

I may be paranoid but I really don't like the idea of sharing one password between the root and normal user accounts.

PS. Great job guys! As usual...
