I do not agree. If I start, say, firefox, I am not working as root. And, if

synaptic.

Gnome has this capability, of storing the root password for all the
applications during the session.

Why do you have so many programs that you have to run as root?


I somewhat agree here. But, if I launch firestarter, synaptic and a konsole
as root, why enter the root password three times? I am already aware that I
am working as root with those programmes.

I use Debian, so I do su . I really do not understand why Ubuntu prefers
sudo before su

Thank you,
