When perfoming tasks which do not need root or administrator privileges, use a normal terminal. Only use a root terminal to perform tasks which need root or administrator privileges. If you do something wrong in the Root Terminal, you could mess up the operating system.

With some Linux distributions, you can open a root terminal from the menu while logged in using your username. You need to enter the password.

Log in as Root

With many Linux distributions, you log in as root and open the terminal.

Sudo

Some Linux distributions use sudo. When using these distributions, you can use a normal terminal, and type "sudo" preceeding each command you want to run as root.

Examples of Linux distributions which use sudo include Mint, Kubuntu, Tiny Core, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and distributions based on them.
