"Modern" blimey sudo was old hat like sh - but unless you can edit the file command and
append sudo to it then the average user not going to be able to edit files that root can.
For example the .xsession file - sure the user may see it - then they need to load an editor
as root to do anything.

Some folders - directories they will not be able to open. So Fedora-17 is crap. But so what
if it is crap? And it may have gpg2 installed which may or may not work as Fedora-16 clearly
did not.

I'd not personally waste my time burning a DVD!!
