   Tnx, I will give this a go one of these days. It's obvious now we can't   
   give people an account with root access. We're available to people on   
   certain days, in the library for instance, so if something went wrong

   We're only now debating about this, so atm it's only about experimenting   
   ourselves. EU support for W10 will end Oct 13 2026, so we've got time.
