SUDO

Quoting Dennis Kaarsemaker <dennis at kaarsemaker.net>:
Did not understand this discussion: there is a root terminal in UBUNTU. Open it
and work with root rights when you are installing new software.
Switch into character console with Ctrl+Alt + F1 (F2-F6), launch a commands:
    $ sudo su -
    # invoke-rc.d GDM stop
and you'll be total Linux commander.
Can anybody to explain where is the problem?
