I have no strong wish about a root terminal. I know the Ubuntu policy is to use only sudo and gksu, and I know many other distros supply root terminals and some do not even supply sudo. -o- Maybe it is more complicated. I think people might want gparted, synaptic and other GUI programs that need superuser privileges, and to be able to launch them from a terminal window. The typical Ubuntu alternative is not to use a root terminal window, but use a normal terminal window and to launch it with 'gksu' (alias 'gksudo'). I think (from a thread in the Ubuntu Forums about it) that it is also possible to use 'sudo -H' without creating problems with ownership of hidden files in the user's home directory, but it is easy to forget the -H. So to conclude, I think many people might come to ToriOS from the Ubuntu world, and would miss gksu. So I suggest that you include gksu even if you won't supply a root terminal.
