+==== Superuser ====
+=== Execute sudo cmd without needing to type password ===
+== Staying Safe ==
+  - backup ''/etc/sudoers'' file i.e. copy to somewhere safe
+  - leave at least one terminal window open as root
+  - edit ''/etc/sudoers'' with ''visudo'' not ''sudo''. It's a wrapper for your already configured editor (not necessarily vi)
+== The Magic ==
+  * create a wrapper script that does all your magic for you. Don't add sudo to the cmds in the wrapper script
+  * using ''visudo'' add to the end of your ''/etc/sudoers'' file ''USERNAME ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT'' substituting in USERNAME and FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT as necessary
+  * to execute the cmd without password type ''sudo FULL_PATH_TO_THE_SCRIPT''
+===== Misc =====
+   * write to dmesg: ''echo Some message > /dev/kmsg''
+   * add timestamp to log entries that are piped. Add to pipe: ''gawk '{ print strftime(), $0; fflush() }' ''
+     * ''awk'' is supposed to do this but at least when then piping to ''grep'' only ''gawk'' worked.
+   * remove package with all its dependencies. As root: ''apt-get purge `apt-get -s purge <PKG> | grep '^ ' | tr -d '*'`''
