Hello,

yes, the & sign puts the process in the background. I do not know why it
is not working at your computer, but maybe you will have to press 'enter'
before you see the command prompt coming back.

I do not understand your second question very much, but as a superuser you
can also execute startx, but you will have some superuser privilleges (and
you cannot send mail like any other user can, for security reasons).

Greetz,
Sebastiaan
