People will use sudo instead of su with openSUSE because google tells people to use sudo, not su. That's a fact and we can not change it.
Even if sudo is not the openSUSE way of doing things.
So people need sudo to work, proven by the many people having problems this weekend.
nop, i never use sudo, even if google tells me that, reason is: for your example i have to use 5 times sudo, but if i once enter su i am fine.
You don't have to convince me :-) I'm only saying that people are doing that, and my explanation of why is because that's what you find with google when searching. We lost that battle.
maybe i am to stupid, i never got why i have to using sudo. i am also to stupid to got (in past) debian to work with isdn. so i ended up with opensuse. and maybe that's the reason why i use su and do not use sudo.
but i am willing to learn, so if you could explain me why i should use sudo instead of su..... ?
There are reasons to use sudo, yes. One is lazy pasting of commands found in instructions on sites :-D But a serious one is that sudo logs every command used, so that if something goes bad (specially on a server where there are different admins doing different things) the log can be checked to see where was the mistake, and who did it. For home, it doesn't matter. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
