 	Go to news.grc.com, get into grc.techtalk.linux, and find 
a thread starting April 26th called "to su or to sudo" -- where 
you will actually find a calm and careful discussion of what is 
elsewhere flame bait in a class with vi versus emacs.

 	There *is* a trick to make Ubuntu let you do su, becoming 
root and remaining root till *you* choose to stop; but doing it 
and saying so on an Ubuntu list is not far short of running down 
OSX on an Apple list, or demeaning a church in its own discussion 
group.

 	Great motto.
