Trying a VPS (hosting). I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 and created a user admin. Now I'm trying: ssh admin@185.149.129.42 The prompt becomes just a $.
I try:
sudo su root
The prompt has become
root@simple_project:/home/admin#
This line is in white letters.
I try:
su admin
The prompt is in green letters:
admin@simple_project:~$
Well, in other words three cases:
- white $;
- white root;
- green admin.
I was somehow confused by case 1 for example. And I did:
su root
su admin
And I get my green letters up to the colon:
admin@simple_project:~$
This looks more familiar than just a bear $.
Could you tell me what these three cases mean? If they really mean anything.
