What is sudo?

So, you've probably seen a pattern with typing this sudo thing in a few of the commands. This command tells the Raspberry Pi to run the following command (such as raspbi-config or apt-get) as a root user, the Linux administrator/superuser. You can read it as super user do. This is needed for software that will make changes to the system or perform updates. It's usually not needed for user programs though.
