sudo linux

So I get this ubuntu CD for free from the internet, If you haven’t got one just request the CD and yes they will send those disc all the way from Netherlands ( but there was a 8k delivery fee ). After been using it for quite some time this operating system is stable like granite mountain rocks. No virus or system failure whatsoever. Unlike my Windows needs an regular formatting and install.

One friend explain it to me why, because my knowledge on operating system is kind a limited, he takes the time to tell me in slow motion.

” Whenever you run windows if you didn’t set an account it will always assume you are the administrator and you could do anything that you want, that include doing stupid and destructive things on the system ”

Ubuntu ( linux ) tend to see you as mere user and cannot access or do anything in the system admin area ”

but what if I want it to be a admin ( I’m the master after all, not inferred by some machine telling me that it was smarter than me )

” That’s when you utilize the sudo command, and only that operation is having the privileged as admin
unless you use sudo -i command which assume you’re admin in that terminal only ”

yay, isn’t brilliant ?
an operating system that smart enough to know their master sometime not as smart as they look but occasionally allow their master to act like one .
