They opt for the notion that users are stupid enough not to be trusted with a root password. All the admin tools use sudo, gksu or gksudo. The only way to drop to root is use runlevel 1 or activate the root account using `sudo passwd'. Fedora on the other hand encourages the use of potentially powerful admin tools. We use polkit instead to keep track of the permissions. It is a contrasting philosophy which makes me love Fedora over Ubuntu. As far as I understand the feeling is the same for most of us on this list. In conclusion, Ubuntu is different enough for us to love Fedora over it. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
