Super User mode is sometimes needed to make changes or access certain parts of your system. Its for power users.

Sometimes you'll be asked to enter it when using apps and stuff.

Super user mode is in other words known as root. Giving you full access to your computer via. Command Line which you would not normally get as a regular user logged into the computer.

If you read tutorials on whatever you're doing, you'll pick it up as you go. However, there's one essential command you need to know - cd.

Works in Windows too, it changes directories, eg cd /usr/LULZBOOBIES/Desktop

cd ~/
Change to your home directory. Works from anywhere.


apt-get install
Install any package found on the sources.


sudo >command<
Run the command as root


su root
Login as root


tar -zxcf
Untar a package


./configure | make | make install | make clean
Complete command line for configuring, building and installing a source package.

He's asking for Linux commands, even though you can run reboot on Linux also.
