So I've been trying to do things the normal way in (k)ubuntu and have been 
typing sudo every time I want to do something with root privileges... 
normally I find this only mildly annoying.  But it's really been bugging me 
lately... so while searching for something else I found out an easy way you 
can stay "root"  "sudo -s -H" at a console and that console will become root. 

So since I always have a konsole (kde's version) open on the desktop I went to 
settings -> session tab -> root shell and changed ""execute" to be "sudo -s 
-H" now my "root session). 

Now it works just like it used too in gentoo/redhat/suse/slackware ... you 
know the rest of the bloody world (sans windows).
