The important tip that I didn't get for ages was using typing
# su -
1. '#' means 'you're logged in as a user'
2. '$' means 'you're logged in as root'
3. If you've logged in as a user and need to make something work as 
root. You can right click and get a terminal, then you can change to 
any user by typing sy <user-name> you'll then be prompted for password.
4. If you type
# su -
it will ask you for your root password and behave as if you'd loged in 
as root. I don't understand why but it works better than
# su root

have fun. Have you looked at http://www.tldp.org/ ?
