Additional information Becoming root It is is suggested that for most things you login into your system as a user, as opposed to root. However, to execute some of the given commands in this simple tutorial, you will need to become root. Typing su, which stands for Super User at the command prompt and then entering the root password will give you root status in that terminal window, although you still logged in just as a user in the rest of the system. I would suggest that after you have done whatever there was to do as root, you close the terminal window where you logged in as root.
