Ubuntu:
Ubuntu is an open source operating system.
The root user has all the possible permissions a user can possible have in Ubuntu.
In order to get to the root level terminal:
ctrl+Alt+f1 (at the time of booting into the system)
$ means that you are not yet the administrator, and just a regular user.
Trick to get the list of users:
cat /etc/passwd
The password for a user is stored in the following manner in the above file:
encrypted password:1003:1003::/home/username/:/bin/sh
1003 is where the user id goes.
And the 1003 right next to the user id is where the id of the group to which the user belongs is mentioned.
