Wrong.   You can have a root terminal very easily.  

sudo passwd  root
Enter password:  <enter your normal user passwd>
Enter new password:  <enter a root password>
Repeat new password:  <repeat the root passwod>

You are done.

from that point on, just issue   su -   and then enter the root password.

People will yell at me/you for this, but we're not children.
