I’ve never used sudo, and never really liked the idea of it. In fact I’m |
7 |
always amused and slightly annoyed by the sheer amount of sudo one can find in |
8 |
your typical ubuntu howto. ;-) |

It’s one reason why I abstained from installing Truecrypt 6, because it |
11 |
requires sudo (Yes I know, in default setup you can’t do much with it. It is |
12 |
but an issue of principle). However, because I need root commands regularly |
13 |
(for example to initiate the VPN to my uni’s WiFi), I usually have one tab in |
14 |
Yakuake where I do a normal su once after login. |

And for more safety on my part, I also use different prompts: red hostname for |
17 |
root console, green user@hostname for nonroot. |
