i dont like to su every time i wanna do something, how can i make myself an admin?

d00d that is something you don't wanna do....i recommend you look into the sudo command and how to edit the /etc/sudoers, and add the most commonly used root commands to this file for you regular user can issue them....

what if i add myself to the group root would that help?

First, to answer your question, just work as root all the time or give the user uid:0.
Second, you never ever really want this !!!
You really only need to su to root when you change something on your global system config, installing software or similar. How often does this happen?
It is quite dangerous, to work all the time as root, try searching in this forum for something like ' i accidently typed rm -f /
- how can i rescue my system?'
Instead, take a look at the group feature.
Also, if there are some commands that requires root permissions and you use them often, take a look at sudo or give those binaries the sticky bit (man chmod).
I repeat, you DON'T want users to have superuser permissions, think about, that they can do everything they want with your system, unintended or not.

i wouldnt recommend running root all the time as that is a huge security risk

Seems to be the thing lately. Bottom line is take our advice and don't do it. You are best off working with linux to the point where you know exactly how to do it (at which point you won't want to anymore ) because you'll need that knowledge if you are going to be root 24/7

Cool

You run as root all the time and your name will end up being prophetic.
