Hi,
I believe "sudo -i" does exactly the same as a "sudo su -".

Close, but there's still a difference:

  $sudo -i
  #env
  SHELL=/bin/sh
  TERM=screen
  USER=root
  SUDO_USER=pipping
  SUDO_UID=501
  PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
  PWD=/var/root
  SHLVL=1
  SUDO_COMMAND=/bin/sh
  HOME=/var/root
  LOGNAME=root
  SUDO_GID=501
  _=/usr/bin/env

is different from

  $sudo su -
  #env
  SHELL=/bin/sh
  TERM=screen
  USER=root
  PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
  PWD=/var/root
  SHLVL=1
  HOME=/var/root
  _=/usr/bin/env

because in the former, the variables below are set, too:

  SUDO_USER=pipping
  SUDO_UID=501
  SUDO_COMMAND=/bin/sh
  LOGNAME=root
  SUDO_GID=501
