මට මතක විදියට Ubuntu වල root එකට පස්ස්වොර්ඩ් නැතුව තියෙන්නෙ. අලුතින් password එකක් දුන්නොත් ලොග් වෙන්න පුලුවන්.
මේ විදියට කරල බලපන්. උබන්ටු සිස්ටම් එකක් නෑ ටෙස්ට් කරල බලන්න. බොහොමයක් Linux වලට මේක හරියනව.

sudo -i
(උබේ password එක දැන් ගහපන්)
ඊලගට
passwd
(දැන් උබ කැමති password එකක් root ට දීපන්)
exit
ඊලගට
su root
(අලුතින් දීපු password එක දැන් කොටපන්)

ignore the permission errors

the best practice is to create separate users for the servers you use. For example for postgresql you create a prostgresql user. And for the folders you can set permission separately. In the way you are going to do it, the permissions are kinda useless

Most distributions include a root user by default. For example in Ubuntu you could switch to root user by,

su -i

It's hard to provide any specific answer without knowing the exact distribution or the requirement.
So for instance, if your web content is hosted at /var/www, you could just chown it to the current user. Then you could work on that directory as you'd normally work in a project that is in the /home
