Hello Richard, G8JVM

All the "training wheels" installed on a default Ubuntu (and the rest)
can be changed by editing a few config files.  That was all that was
done to lock it down for the default (first user created on install)
from NOT having 'root' access all the time and everywhere.

I have 'unlocked' several Ubuntu installations in the past so that it
looks and works like the 'base' model on Debian in which it is based.

73,

David
