Install DOS?
unix systems have a superadmin (root) and standard users, and the common
usage is to connect as a standard user and only "become root" when
necessary.
in short, me as a user, can do *ANYTHING*. I just have to issue a su or
sudo. sure, that's limited power, but it's intentional.
anyway, if your goal is to star an X11 session as root, while not
recommended, you can do it. you can configure whataver x11 manager to
allow root and you can even make the connection automatic (without the
need to enter a password).
