To tell you the truth, today is the first time I am managing Ubuntu or any linux. I just installed this today on my spare desktop out of curiosity.
One thing I can think of is that while installing, it did ask me where I wanted the root ( or similar question). And i just clicked "something" because I dont know anything of linux.

I think that while we do the update the synaptic overwrites the user setting.

Please post if you find anything.

Thanks,

Santosh
