cd /etc

you really want to get yourself a beginner's guide to using unix it sounds
like to me, either that or start familiarizing yourself with the manual
pages.  to use them, do:

man <command>


you also probably want to setup an account for yourself to avoid the
annoying "use su" message you noted above.  try 'man 8 adduser' for more
information on how to add a user.

i hope this helps some.

later.
