How to enable the root user account in Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux ships with the tool sudo all setup for you to use to perform any administrative tasks instead of giving you root user privileges. If you have used other flavors of Linux and performed any administrative tasks on them you will quite likely feel a bit constrained by sudo, even though you can do just about anything you can as root with sudo. In such cases you can enable the root user account which has been disabled by Ubuntu by default. Note: this could pose a security risk and is not recommended for beginners. Continued…

How to view a configuration file without the comments
I have to often make changes to configuration files such as httpd.conf and squid.conf. These files have a large number of lines that are commented out, mostly comments and some possible configuration directives that have been commented out as they are not required by default. A problem I face while editing such files is that there are so many lines commented out that I need to scroll down many lines before I can find the next active configuration directive.
