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). Regards Ankush
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 speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
