Don&#x27;t jump to conclusions; my comment says nothing about sudo. There&#x27;s a time to use the root shell, and a time to sudo; the key is knowing the difference. Dismissing advice because &quot;it&#x27;s never caused me a problem before&quot; or &quot;you don&#x27;t know what you&#x27;re talking about&quot; will cause problems at some point.<p>If you can elucidate the reasons (plural), you need to be in a root shell, by all means use a root shell. If you&#x27;re doing because &quot;it&#x27;s easier&quot; and no other reasons, then you probably need a bit more experience. In any case, <i>always</i> using a root shell is the Wrong Thing To Do.
