When I first boot into the system using LiveCD..
I plan to get online..
So I proceed to change the config for eth0..
But, it seems like we need root password to do that..
And they didn't provide root password!

sudo...

The root account is disabled when you first install Ubuntu. The first user created during the installation has administrative rights on the system, and can run programs as root with sudo, using only their normal user password. For example: sudo apt-get update.
If you wish to use the root account in more traditional UNIX fashion, you can set the root password by typing sudo passwd root. This will allow you to use su or login as root on the console.
If you need a shell with root privileges, run sudo -s.
All uses of sudo will require the user's password.

If you're still new in Ubuntu Linux, you can try the brief and simple guide from this link: http://ubuntuguide.org/. Oh yeah, the author is a Malaysian

for those who are keen on tryin ubuntu 5.04 hoary (upcoming release), the still workin in progress guide is here

[quote]All orders placed are for Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog" CDs. Ubuntu 5.04 will not be released until the beginning of April. All orders made between now and April will not be shipped until at least the mid-April.[/qupte]

if i order now will i get this latest version ( upcoming 1 )or older 1

It's totally free, including the shipping fees. All of the costs incurred are sponsored by the foundation company. All you have to do is to fill the form and wait, usually about 1 - 2 months.
