Root! Root! Root!

[russell cook]

I prefer a working root account for when I run multiple commands or am
debugging problems, but am happy with sudo for scripts and single
commands. I agree tab completion is great. When I remember (not always),
I type the command and command line first (so I can use some of bash's
features) then hit the home key to go to the start of the line and type
in sudo. Not an elegant solution but a workaround.
