ok well now i am having problems putting files places and saving them and stuff because it constantly says that i dont have permission to write to that folder or something but then when i go to properties to change the permissions it says only the owner can change permissions and so whenever i want to do something like that i have to try to do it in the root shell....so im wondering if there is a way that i can make it so that my account has root permission so it wont argue with me when i want it to do something that only the admin can do...cuz i am the admin. sry if thats a noobish question i am still fairly new to linux!
