FWIW, for things I run as root a lot, I like to set up a sudoers file
with commands my user is able to run as root _without_ needing to su -
first [like network restarts for the laptop].
so this:
$ su -
$ service network restart
$ exit
becomes this
$ sudo /sbin/service network restart
man sudo for more info.
