Arrow ubuntu root/sudo plus yellowtab.cc


new to ubuntu - how to acquire
root status to edit files owned by root plus: how to acquire root status to copy
a file into a folder owned by root - = ie. a new font? i have heard
there is no way to act as root in ubuntu - is that the truth? or is it
done by the command SUDO? but how in detail? and what does sudo mean? for what is that good for if so? it is waste of time!

i have done many things until now with sudo but is there no way to login as root? i cannot copy and edit! just installed until now many applications.

anyone does know of a better linux what does support via processors plus: i need activation code for a yellowtab (it(yellowtab.com but org & cc) is not me!)zeta version - i could pay highif it works - it is an euro opportunity!
