|
|
Hello-
There are 2 things that I would like some input on.
1. I just installed gnome2.2 and it is great. The only problem is that you can only log in as root. When you log in as anything else it locks up at the startup splash.
2. Is it a bad idea to run your desktop as root? If so why?
Thanks alot!
