if you want to be root in terminal, you can
open terminal
sudo -s
or
sudo -i
also, if you right click the Application/Places/Systems window, you can
select the root terminal icon, and you can get to root terminal that
way.
if you want set a root password, you can.
open terminal
sudo passwd root.
If you want to login to gnome as root, there is only one way I have
done that.
Kill gdm,
which gives you commandline screen.
login as root, or su to root.
then
startx
I really think this is a bad Idea, especially logging in to gnome as
root.
I am also sure there is a safer way then what I have suggested.
