From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What?
Some new Debian users, usually coming from Ubuntu, are shocked by problems like "sudo not working in Debian".
default debian config isn't enabling sudo for created users
(and that's a good choice imo)
but you can of course use "su -" and just switch to root propperly
if you do not provide a root password during install, the default user is in sudoer.
I know.
but since there's that field in the install wizard, asking you for that password, I'd guess most people will provide one.m?
