Sudo is a command in the terminal activity. It means Super User Do : X.

You use it before commands that you want to execute that require you to be a privileged user or root.

As the root user is going away in upcoming builds (maybe update.1?), this is important to remember.

The sudo command is not installed in the version installed with the Give-one-get-one program; use root instead.
