Seems a bit simpler to recommend "sudo mv b2 /usr/bin", although I don't feel strongly about that.
If your docs are specific to Ubuntu then it doesn't really matter, but not all distros support "sudo make me a sandwich" out of the box. On my Fedora systems I would get this:
$ sudo mv b2 /usr/bin [sudo] password for redi: Sorry, user redi is not allowed to execute '/bin/mv b2 /usr/bin' as root on moria.localdomain.
Are you sure you would have this problem if you run Fedora in a virtual machine you created,
I haven't tried, but are you suggesting the default sudoers file is different if Fedora is installed in a VM? How does the OS know it's running as a VM guest?
You would have full root access, wouldn't you?
No, not as a non-root user you create. Not by default anyway. I think you can make "sudo make me a sandwich" work by creating the user as an Administrator during the Fedora installation process, which causes the user to be added to the 'wheel' group.
