For those of you new to #Linux: How can you be sure when you SHOULD be entering your admin password?
- When you're installing software.
- When you are changing a setting that would affect all users (if you have just one, imagine you have several)
- When changing filesystems, formatting drives, or otherwise affecting the filesystem itself.
- When accessing folders you don't have user access to (Mostly things above /home/user)
- Updating (affects all users, counts as installing software)
