And nobody's *ever* installed the desktop version on a server because they didn't know any better, especially from Ubuntu's target audience. Gotcha. ;) OK, seriously. If you're sitting in front of a machine that's presenting you a login prompt, you've got enough privileges to insert a bootable USB/CD and pull all the data / make yourself an account (FDE/Bios PW notwithstanding).
My disk is password protected, and the whole system (except /boot) is encrypted. Ubuntu guest account is definitively the best way to hack a running laptop (or workstation). -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
