In fact, sudo has two options for giving you a root shell:
1. sudo -s
This basically gives you your existing shell environment
but with root privilege. It can be very dangerous
because it's going to be "comfortable" (all your
aliases, editor configs, etc will be there).
On the other hand, it's nice when you just want to "sudo
up" your shell to cd into some heavily locked-down
directories (largely because it leaves your CWD alone as
well)
2. sudo -i
This is basically equivalent to "sudo su -", in that it
drops you into the root environment as it's configured
on the machine.

"virii" would be the plural of the mythical masculine
noun "virius". The neuter plural of "virus" would be
"vira" (as "opus" & "opera"), and "viri" is the plural
of the masculine "vir" (man). It really is "viruses"!
