I have used Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Sorcerer, Source Mage, Suse both 
before and after Novell's acquisition, and afterwards Opensuse, Mandriva 
and Mandrake. None have used sudo instead of su as Ubuntu does. These 
are actually most of the major distributions (and a couple which are not 
so major) so I don't see how one can argue that there are many Linux 
distributions which agree with this position.
