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.
