Re: Root user permission

You can use sudo if you are part of the sudo group (see the files
/etc/group and /etc/group-) If you installed ubuntu then you are already
part of the sudo group. To accomplish any administrative task such as
apt-get update, you have to issue
the root


What do you means (see the files /etc/group and /etc/group-)

I can't see such directories in my filesystem :-/
