access root terminal ??

[Tony]

Hi Khalid

What I do is open an ordinary terminal, and then type

sudo bash

after you have entered your own password, you will have a root terminal
with the hash prompt. You can do the same to run any program as root. So
 if I need to edit a root owned file, I enter, for example

sudo gvim /etc/configfile
