Time to cautiously update my Mac mini before I update the computers that matter!

It removes the root account access; everything needs a sudo command. Don't get it. Offers nothing of importance.

Weird, the public release is right there in app store, yet I am getting no option to upgrade the public beta version that I am on.

have you upgraded to 10.11.1 beta? Maybe we are now permanently stuck with the beta channel.

Are you on a 10.11.0 Beta or 10.11.1?

I am on 10.11.1 and haven't been notified to upgrade.

I think you misunderstand how "rootless" works. Nothing is stopping you from using "sudo su" if you want to be root for some reason. The new security features prevent certain system files from being modified even if you are logged in as root. This can be disabled if you boot into recovery mode and use the terminal.

None of that is true or helpful. Great username, btw.
