[Klug-general] su in Ubuntu

[Mike Rentell]

Not quite. I usually use rpm systems like Mandriva but I found that 
going unstable this morning, particularly around my accounts under 
VirtualBox, so I fired up Gutsy and installed it. Haven't used it before 
but have used Debian Etch before Christmas, but that is how it is with a 
battered brain.

I shoulda bin in shtuck without the group. Thanks. All seems to be OK 
now ta.
