is sudo easy its seems so incedibly hard to me

are you talking about ubuntu ?? - which afaik, defaults to (sudo, no root user) install only - though a root can be added easily enough.

It took me a little time to learn how to use and edit using vi-vim - and I still only use it for thesudoers file (If I don't use more often, I'll forget how to actually save changes)...but anyway - stop whining, and ask for "specific" help and give "specific" info if you expect any more help.

Once I added the appropriate entries, that I needed, toetc-sudoers, I can easily run sudo in front of any command that requires root privs - all without having to re-enter my pbuttwd every time.

You need to learn the User-Group structure and how the "System" files and binaries are protected -- but with sudo, no prob accessing right away when *you* (and-or whomever else you grant access) needs to. In the huge DEs like GNOME and KDE, you will not gain anything useful from trying to access locked folders. Giving the app (or whole DE) root access is a bad, bad thing to do -- so learn to use the Shell correctly.

Atleast my rants (when I started) had a lot of substance and detail to them...
