"There is no root?" Technically that's incorrect, there is always the root user of the system, even if the root account is disabled for terminal/console login. Root login in disabled by default in Ubuntu, though that can easily be changed. I have heard reports of people having to log in root to get audio applications to use realtime due to various bugs, I would recommend that any machine used this way never be networked.
