Wow, another Garamond lover! I do, too, love it (and bought a copy
For Greg: I'm trying to get my muscle memory to use "sudo -i" and "sudo -s"
as you said to become root user for more work (thanks for the great
explanation).
One more question: when I need a one-liner as root, do I also use the '-i'

Thanks,

Is there a way to distinguish whether 'sudo -i' was used or not?
Thanks.

I was watching a Linux distro video on YouTube this morning, and one of the
sponsors was Safin.io which hosts a multi-capability firewall and network
management device available for download. It looks interesting to me, a
firewall-challenged sys admin hobbyist.
Has anyone tried it? It sounds

The HP Microserver is the same sort of beast: HPE Proliant Micro
I am looking for a commercial grade server (for home use) to replace my
remote ones. I am looking at Dell's site and an almost-empty chassis with a
low-end Intel, 1 TB SATA, and 8 Gb ECC RAM is in the $800 ball park. It
looks very upgradeable.

I need a special path setting for root after both "sudo" and "sudo su." How
can I set that up correctly?
Searching for a definitive answer seems hopeless. Any working solution is
