   If you want to get technical, Ubuntu is /basically/ Debian unstable branch with   
   Gnome and a few other applications loaded on it. Everything that works in   
   Debian/Ubuntu, should pretty much work in the other.   
      
   There's probably quite a few instances where you'd find an answer for something   
   Debian related on a Ubuntu forum.. Then again, vice versa would work also   
   (usually).   
      
   As for the root xterm, I didn't notice any of those sites requiring root   
   access to run an xterm window. I believe they're basically just saying to add a   
   script to your startup which opens an xterm window and starts 'mc'.   
      
   Check this site out, especially the part of "Running the script when a user   
   logs on graphically, instead of at boot time"   
      
   http://askubuntu.com/questions/141217/how-can-i-run-an-application-in-gnome-ter   
   minal-automatically-when-booting   
      
   It does mention having to specify the working directory when using Startup   
   Applications.
