    You can’t disable root and tasksel may be confusing to some.

      Why would you want to disable root?

      Remote root login is disabled by default, local root disabeling is useless anyway, as when you have acdess to the physical system you can break it open anyway.

        Because sudo exists and is way better for so many reasons.

          It’s a better way, but not fool proof. I always keep root available for console login. (Saves booting from external media when there is an issue) For the rest, sudo is perfect though, but it doesn’t replace root login in 100% of the situations.
