Also, one of the first things you want to do in Ubuntu is change the
root password so you don't have to use 'sudo' all the time.
Yikes, not recommended. Sudo is an extra layer of logging and security
that is well worth the minor inconvenience. You get used to it.
Depends on your level of experience/competence/confidence.
Personally, having many years of experience with Unix in general and Linux in
particular (and good backups :-) ) a proper root shell holds few fears or
dangers.
But for a user who's just moved from Windoze, I'd agree with you :-)
