Yup, that's a common thing. Ubuntu often doesn't set a root password,
so logging in as root gets tricky. If you want to though, you can do
something like "sudo passwd", which should create a password for root.
Though you'll never really need to, since "sudo bash" like Bill and
Chris suggest will always give you a root command shell.

P.S. - I've got Doom3 as well, I'll have to get it installed sometime,
and maybe when I come back to KW in the Winter we can have a frag
match at one of the meetings. ;)
