This is a debian-user question. By default, if you step through the installer and _don't_ give a root password, then sudo is set up such that the first created user is set up to use sudo. Login as that user and type sudo [command] At least that's what I'm assuming you're asking. If you want to get a root shell on any random Debian machine - no, sorry, won't help - you have to do your own homework and (potentially) break your own laws. All the best, Andy C.
