Here's what I do:
* Enable Maemo Extras
* Install openssh-server. It will ask for a new root password.
* Open X Terminal
* ssh root@localhost
And then, optionally
* 'EDITOR=vi visudo' and add at the bottom
user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
root ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
I'm afraid there's no editor more convenient than vi, and you have to
know vi to be able to use it.

Apt is preinstalled.
