Problem logging into "Root"
I'm very new in Linux.
1)What is "Root" actually? Is it something similar to Windows Administrator or Power User? I found that many settings cannot be done without accessing to "Root".
2)Would someone point out those shortforms like, what is the meaning or full words of ent2, ent3.......(Linux shortforms)etc, please? Or any website i can refer to?
Thank you so much.

i would say root is a turbocharged admin on steroids, you can even trash hardware as root.
but to do that you need nowledge FAR beyond your level.
you can become root temporarily by doing in a console window.
or you can run a program as root temporarily by doing
Code:
sudo nameofprogram.
substitute nameofprogram with what you want done, like or
Code:
sudo cat /var/log/messages
as for ent2 ent3 I have no idea, but i do know that ext2 and ext3 are filesystems,like ntfs and fat32 is for windows.
would be nice to hear where you found those end2, end3.
as for what they are. hmm... no idea as of yet.
here is a pair of edited qoutes from lats weeks harvest of my postings.
