While that is somewhat true, I'll explain a little further. Ubuntu
makes extensive use of the sudo command to provide root privileges.
However, if you have scripts that need to be run as root and/or you just
don't want to have to type sudo before a series of commands, then you
can become root by doing "sudo su" then setting the root password.
