can you tell me how can open terminal window as root? sorry, i'm pretty noob on linux... i only had ubuntu 2 weeks...

[MikeTbob]

It's it your system menu.
Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
If you are using Ubuntu, you do not use root, instead use sudo

sudo lspci |grep -i net
sudo lsmod
sudo ifconfig -a

Sorry for the confusion here, see this link for some basics and it also explains how to login as root.

1. Open up your menu. This is either the "red hat" or "F in a bubble" icon in the tray (at the top or bottom of the screen). (It might also be a little "foot," or possibly a little penguin.)
2. Under System Tools, click on Terminal. (In some versions of Fedora, it's under Accessories instead of System Tools.)

yes, i know that, i only don't know how to get on root.

Like we can do sudo on ubuntu, and what can we do on fedora to have the same result?

[MikeTbob]

To login as root, all you need to do is open a terminal window as explained above and issue the command exactly like this.

su -

Press enter, enter the root password and press enter one last time. Note the password is not echoed on the screen, just keep typing and press enter.
