https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/edgemax/EdgeRouter_ER-4_DS.pdfIt has been in beta for something like 6 months or so.

The big deal with the ER-4 and ER-6 is a new processor.
-
Looks like beefed up ERL, with rack mount option.

Pretty much what it is supposed to be. The refresh of the ERL and the ER-PoE
-
When you look at the firmware ID info it is obvious.
In release order:
ERL/ERPOE - e100
ER8/ER8Pro - e200
ERX - e50
ER8XG - e1000
ER4/ER6 - e300 -

Looks like all Workstation installs will have no root password set by default. The initial user created by gnome-initial-setup will be added to the wheel group.

That's basically what 27 does, but less elegantly.

Damnit, I hate this about Ubuntu.
Why can I not use a root account and a user account?

You should just be able to set the password after an install. It probably just locks the account since there isn't a password.
I never minded this because I never use the root account unless I switch to it with sudo. But I can see how if that's your normal workflow it would be annoying.

Only if you don't set during install. If you set root, there it is. If you skip it, it forces you to do something.

From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReduceInitialSetupRedundancy under Root Account.
Having a root password is not useful for nontechnical users, and it is confusing to ask users to create multiple passwords.

Security isn't useful for the masses.
