The standard setup for Ubuntu is to create two users, root and a first user. The first user always gets full sudo access and root login is disabled (for security).
Linode doesn't do this, it just creates root, with ssh login enabled.
Why is this so? Is there some limit on the number of account Linode nodes can have? Is there some other reason?
My instinct is to create a user, sudo it and disable ssh root login. This keeps dev and prod machines as alike as possible.
