... IMHO Ubuntu's idea with sudo is not good, as it is enticing users to use short root passwords, which is counter productive. Better root terminal and strong password, then sudo and 3 letter password.
That doesn't make sense to me for two reasons: 1) Sudo requests the logged-in user's password, not roots. 2) Sudo can be configured to only demand a password if a certain amount of time had passed since the last time it validated the user. At least that's how it worked on the RHEL systems used at my last job a big company that had strict security policies.
