Master of sudo

[Alexis Phoenix]

Doesn't "sudo" sound like a martial art? Or is it just me? After many months of training, you may progress to the art of "su"...

[conundrumx]

"Sudo" is phonetically similar to "judo," which is indeed a martial art. However, su is more powerful when used in conjunction with sudo, so I wouldn't say one progresses to su...

[Sporkman]

"Do" means "art".

"Tae Kwon Do" = "Foot Fist Art" in Korean.

The way of the super user?

[Calash]

Depens on how you pronounce it.

I have heard the following


Sue-Doe
Sue-Due
So-Due
So-Doe

Things I hate about Linux: Having to learn how to pronounce words on my own, only to find out I have been wrong the past 4 years. :)

Even though "su-dough" is commonly used, the preferred pronunciation is saying the two as separate words, su do, since that's exactly what it is, Substitute User DOing the following action.

Same here. I used to use Youbuntu. Sometimes I still call it that even though it should be Ewwbuntu.


(Still Youbuntu sounds nicer)

"Stay outta my way! I know SUDO and I'm not 'fraid of you" That's how I feel using SUDO and I still think it is like some warrior's art

I read somewhere that it stood for SUperuser DO- but I always say it Soo-Doe. Soo-Doo just sounds funny to me.

"Do" means "art".

"Tae Kwon Do" = "Foot Fist Art" in Korean.

'Do' actually literally means 'path'. The meaning is more akin to 'way' or 'methodology' rather than 'art', which as a word traces its etymology to 'craft', something quite different to the 'path' concept of 'do'.

The "U"s, all of them are pronounced the same as the "OO" sound in "Moo" and the sound some monkeys make "HOO HOO HOO!". Stick your lips out to form a sort of puckered "o" shape with your mouth. That's the best I can describe it without giving you a sound clip. or I could give you this:

Yes..

[Cavsfan]

Even with as many safeguards and security measures that Ubuntu has built into it. You can still sudo your way into
screwing things up so bad that you need to do a clean install to get it back like it should be.

Been there and done that! You can protect stuff, but things can still become messed up!
But, I guess the objective is to live and learn and become a Master of Sudo.

[Spice Weasel]

got root?

[Alexis Phoenix]

So, sudo, the path of the acolyte on the way of root
su, the path of the master of the way of root
root, the way of root
do, the metaphysical abstraction of one who has seen beyond the ten thousand things, and spends ones time meditating upon "while" and "until"...
Or am I just talking rubbish here?
I use Oobuntu Leenooks, btw.

In Spanish 'sudo' means 'I sweat', so for Spanish speakers it doesn't sound like a martial art.
