Many recent linux distros disable root password login (and thereby su). Instead, root usage is restricted to a few users via sudo. This makes things a little more manageable, as there's is no single root password that all admins know, so you can remove root access for one user without forcing everyone to remember a new password.
Admittedly, this isn't an issue for single user systems, but it's probably something anyone planning on using linux across multiple systems in the long run to get used to.
