BOWILLIE	Date: December 11, 2009 @ 5:08 PM yea..i like that phil collins song
zedsalt	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 9:09 AM I have a friend who...for years and years...always pronounced "pseudo-" "swayed-oh" (probably still does; I haven't talked to him in a long while). Pretty much everyone appeared to let it pass. I figure it was for the same reason I always did- it was like pseudopseudo.
Opossum	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 9:12 AM My wife HATES being called Sue! And probably wouldn't care much for "Sudo", either.
BOWILLIE	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 9:25 AM i like that song dont step on my blue pseud shoes.
zedsalt	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 9:39 AM I don't own any blue pseud shoes, but I do have a feng shuid jacket. I can't wear it out in the rain, but it's always in exactly the right place...

evansorchid	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 4:08 PM Since when did we have a Linux subforum? It's too early to think about stuff like that, Mojo.

ShadowMom	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 10:50 PM Is this like to be or not to be? Mojo's been digging around in the dark corners again, I see!
Israfel	Date: December 12, 2009 @ 10:59 PM Frankly, this whole discussion hurts my head...
pog	Date: December 13, 2009 @ 5:13 AM I think sudo seems easier to me, but I can't really remember how to use su it's been a while... I just got Kubuntu running in Virtualbox's seamless mode, on a Vista Desktop and omg it's pretty wild!

Awesome...I use the virutal box for my vista now and while sudo seems "easy" ...how do you figure that translates to security... thats kinda my point...Ubuntu uses sudo as the method of obtianing root where as most other linux distro's use the time honored unix su...I love my unbuntu but I feel less secure using the sudo permission structure....anywho... carry on ...
pog	Date: December 13, 2009 @ 2:32 PM Isn't it session specific? I am in the habit of closing terminals once I have finished doing my root level admin stuff/updates/installs, etc. I guess it's a compromise that could be a security risk if the end user has bad habits.
vilifiend	Date: December 13, 2009 @ 2:51 PM i love something someone once said to me... "linux is free if your time has no value" hey, im guilty, ive used a few distros. sorry... ill let you continue the main point caus i actually dont know the difference between su and sudo
southwing	Date: December 13, 2009 @ 9:57 PM sudo apt-get install anything, or use the terminal with su and you're in su mode for at approximately 15 minutes, or until you log off. Is this correct, or do I have it wrong? If so, people don't write malware for Linux anyway, or do they......mmmmmmm

southwing	Date: December 13, 2009 @ 9:59 PM Hey, I didn't do that, did I?
prettymusicgurl	Date: December 14, 2009 @ 12:49 AM ~LOL~ what??!?
pog	Date: December 14, 2009 @ 1:46 AM I think i remember it all now... su is kind of like taking on the identity of a specific user without having to log out and back in. This can include taking on the identity of root or superuser. sudo on the other hand is like taking on the access privileges but to "do" a command executed as yourself.

zedsalt	Date: December 14, 2009 @ 9:36 AM I dated a superuser for WAY too long once. I never should've put my root anywhere NEAR her. Lesson learned.
