Yours is an interesting question, as the startkde would normally be started with
the user's account after getting a login from the manager, which runs as root.
I'm guessing that crouton is acting the part of the desktop manager here, and is
requiring a sudo user to start a session. Hence from the sudo it knows the user
id, and can intelligently launch startkde with the proper rights. I'd love to
see a "ps aux |grep startkde" from PJ on that to see how it shows up.
Is it root? Or is it PJ? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It's missing some things, like the thingie that
you would normally use to update software and
get new packages. It's apt get or nothing.
So it's a complete desktop in the limited sense
that you have what you need, but maybe not
every thing you've desired in the past. And
some of those things you can't apt get like Skype.
But why you'd want it now, after all we've learned,
is a mystery.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It's definitely not secure. The only
protection is your password, which isn't
all you need. If you read the crouton
page, he explains that.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
