sudo

If you're completely new - once you install Debian, you'll find out that sudo doesn't work, unless you know how to read and haven't put in a root password.

You can either -

• reinstall Debian
• enable sudo manually
• cry

Enabling sudo manually

First, you need to have sudo installed.
Use

$ su

to become root (use the root's password here) and install sudo by using

# apt-get update
# apt-get install -y sudo

Next, you'll need to enable it, type

# visudo

and add in

<username>   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

replace <username> with your username

Now sudo should work. And shame on you for not reading.
