I have used only "su" for already 3 years, since switched to Gentoo |
| 23 |
from Ubuntu and never had any problems with it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Could you explain a little bit more why "su -" should be used instead. |
| 26 |
|

From the man page I've got the following: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
-, -l, --login |
| 30 |
Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had |
| 31 |
the user logged in directly. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
But I cannot see why I need the original root environment, |
| 34 |
especially if I never set it up. |

I hate using sudo since I have been forced to use it in Ubuntu. |
