they both have the security, but they kind of access it differently. Like, for instance, Ubuntu and a lot of its derivatives used super user. Right. And then like Slackware and Arch, they use root. So you actually have to log in as root instead of super user. I'm sure you can change it if you want, because you can do anything you want. But as a default, if I remember correctly on Slackware, you have to log in as root. And the account that you normally use for yourself doesn't have root privileges. OK, so in order to do anything as root, you have to log out as a super user and then log back in as root. Yeah, I guess you could bring up a terminal and access it that way. And switch the user, yeah. But that would require more effort than I'm willing to do. So, OK, I've never used Arch or Slackware, so I'll take your word for it. Well, you know, now, if I'm wrong, I'm sure I'll hear about it. But that's what I remember from my Slackware time. But that you could access your root, but you had (7/49)
