Just another quick tip. If you choose (as, in my opinion, you should) to not enable root logins, but to always use sudo for running commands with root permissions, you can use "sudo -i" to effectively get a root login temporarily (this is useful for a situation where you need to run a lot of commands as root in succession). However, always make sure you exit the root session and return to your regular user state (just type "exit").

Cheers
