Another reason to prefer a real root over sudo

[alex goretoy]

I know what you mean about sudo. It's mostly a pain for me because I have to
re-enter my password all the time. One way that I go around this is have
screen in terminal and some windows in screen one for sudo su -, ssh
session, etc...

I have a .screenrc I put together from pieces I found on the internet.

You can find my .bashrc here

Hope this helps someone.
