Hey,

There is no root terminal in Gnome unlike in KDE where there is a
root terminal.You will find
terminal under "System Tools".If you are logged as normal user give
"su -" at the terminal to become super user(root).

I have a general *NIX admin question. Why does one want to use
su -
as opposed to just su? I think I understand the difference in regards
to "su -" actually changes you to root, as if logged in that way, as
opposed to simply granting root privilege. But why do that? If I do
that, then I lose my path settings, and can't run my normal editor, which
is in ~/bin and so on. I just use "su".

What am I missing?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
