What is Sudo Stand For?
sudo stands for “su do”, and means “do something as the supervisor”. `sudo` is an enhanced alternative to the Unix `su` command.

The `su` command allows any user to obtain superuser privileges, if they know the root password:
bash-2.05a$ su –
Password:
#

The Impact of sudo on Unix & Linux System Security

  • `sudo` improves on `su` in several ways:
  • `sudo` allows you to give privileged access to only some commands, instead of all commands.
  • `sudo` allows you to log all commands (and their arguments) executed as the privileged user.
  • `sudo` does not require the administrator to share the root password.
  • `sudo` allows you to limit the users who can use it by editing the sudoers file.
  • `sudo` times out after 5 minutes (by default).

What Is apt-get ?
The Debian package management system is one of the best out there. It includes dependency resolution, easy installs, availability and organization. While the deb package system is not the most popular for distributions, it is very popular amongst its users. Debian uses apt-get for handling packages.
