EDIT: try this for homework: find out what "rm -rf /" does and why it's a very bad idea to use it. This should show you the way to look up commands when unsure
At least I have enough Linux experience for this. Like I mentioned, I still have a linux server running here without GUI. Just SSH once I get it up and running.

Root is always there, you don't enable/disable, you just temporarily gain it's super-powers.
So basically it's not like enabling root-user in Ubuntu but more like using "sudo" or something similar.
