It certainly wouldn't be "sudo su" unless you're trying to log in as 
another non-root user.  You issue su with no arguments to become root, 
or you issue it with a username (su someuser) to become that user.  
Actually, I'm not sure if su comes with Debian by default - I'm pretty 
sure it's not supported in Ubuntu.
