Linux documentation is going nutz on this project as I type this reply. In
fact, debian folks are now looking for kind souls to write man pages for some
600 applications right this very moment. Documentation *IS* a priority.
Yet, for the new people who only see a new windoz release every 2-4 years,
you get ONE, count it, *ONE* way. Linux includes thousands.
Now, add the concept that linux and associated apps change really on a daily
basis. It's pretty tough to keep up with that workload!
New kernel came down the pike. New qt's, new X...
But it IS coming, and there's hopes that the documentation will coinside the
releases.

Typically, we want to ban 'root' remote access. On my own box, I was
presented with a dialog regarding whether or not I would allow root access. I
said *no* and that way I can only ssh as a user, THEN *su -* to superuser
mode. Please try it and see if that helps.
