Finally Root. Thanks to @UGlz for the initial nudge.
Good box. The Foothold took a while to figure out. The rest was not that hard if you pay attention.
Foothold: Bust your way around to get more info. Pick a tool any tool. Then you need to pay attention. Articles must be read all the way. Try to get as much information from the pages. That will point you in the right direction so you know what to google for.
User: Enumeration! Information is laying around. The previous enumeration will help you increment ;). Do some work on what you find and read carefully. Be superman!
Root: Enumerate and see what recent vulnerabilities the system has. This took 10 mins to exploit.
