With "set home env" unset (the default), running sudo -s to execute a shell as root, leave the environment set to your normal users' env, including $HOME. Meanning, if you do something like "cd", you go to the normal user's home directory, and not root's.
With "set home env" set, running sudo -s still gets you a root shell, but with root's environment. Similar to logging in as root. IMO, this is the better setup.
