To avoid typing sudo for any admin command, you can have a root shell with sudo -s: 
[05:24 27] xoa@xoa:~$ sudo -s
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.
