Sorry to sound curt. No offense intended. The whole sudo/su thing is a
recurring theme on this list. It's asked at least once a week. I'm not
sure what Ubuntu can do to help people more over this hump, but it's
one that seems to trip up anyone with Linux experience. To be fair,
sudo is the more modern approach, but it just hasn't been adopted
widely elsewhere.
