解決無法切換root的問題

有時候剛灌好Linux之後，或是新增一個帳號後，在想要切換為root時，會有錯誤訊息，說此帳號不能切換為root，
經過調查sudo的man page之後，發現只要到"/etc/sudoer"檔案中，將想要能夠切換成root的使用者名稱寫入即可。

SOP for Re-creating Debian binary packages with dpkg-repack

# SOP for Re-creating Debian binary packages with dpkg-repack
#
# Description:
# If you've installed a Debian package upon a machine, but lost the binary archive,
# then it is difficult to copy that package to another machine.
# Thankfully is a simple solution for recreating a Debian package from an installed system.
# dpkg-repack allows you to turn a package which you've installed back into a binary .deb file.

# step 1: Download
Download dpkg-repack from here
http://packages.debian.org/etch/all/dpkg-repack/download

# step 2: Install dpkg-repack
> dpkg -i dpkg-repack_1.25_all.deb

# step 3: Search which packages need to make binary debian packages, ex. ncs
> dpkg -l | grep ncs
