Give user sudo

You have to edit the /etc/sudoers file, which starts off with a scary text: This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. OMG!

So I do visudo but it takes me to the nano editor.
I want vim instead! So I did export EDITOR="vim", which if you want to be your default editor, add this line to ~/.bashrc.

Copy and modify root   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
