So don't use it; I never do. IMAO sudo is only for giving limited root access to users on a multi-user box. If you're the only person using the machine, you presumably know the root password (Unless, of course, you're using Ubuntu, which doesn't have one by default.) and shouldn't need to use sudo. I use su for multiple commands and su -c for one; no keystroke savings, but for me, at least, it's The Right Thing.
