Admin Root user [not set to default]

[James Freer <jrjfreer@gmail.com>]

Hi members

I've just done my install of Debian 12 Live XFCE version. Been a user
of Xubuntu for 15 years and thought i would change. Tried some of the
derivatives and chose Debian to go with.

I would be grateful if someone could explain why admin root user is
not set to default. I have always had user login and password and then
root for for other tasks like Aptitude updates. [I am a fan of
Aptitude although most folk seem to prefer Apt].

Also not sure where to set root admin user. I suppose it doesn't
matter if one is using Debian on a home PC like myself rather than a
server but i'd just like to know.

thanks
james
