Actually, I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu does have su. It's standard with almost all Linux distros. The problem however, is that although Ubuntu does have su, it's rendered almost useless as the root account is disabled by default.

You can still use it by entering sudo su at the command prompt, and additionally using passwd to change the root password, enabling the root account. </useless tidbit of information>
