I just use sudo. I never used to, until I started using Mac OS X. Then, I just decided it was convenient enough to prepend sudo if I needed to use root privileges or do sudo -s if I needed a full root shell with my current environment. This way, I don't need to change any of the root user's settings besides the password during install.
