years since I had a usable root account on any system
I've
installed.
These days you should be using sudo.
That's a pretty big sweeping assertion, one with which I
wholeheartedly disagree. Sudo has been around for a very long
time, and while it makes great sense for newbies, it gets in the
way when people who know what they're doing are trying to manage a
system.
Use it if you like, but keep it the hell away from the systems I'm
responsible for.
