<P>
Oliver:
<BR>
<P>Just a real dumb question here:
<BR>
What exactly are the problems that you encounter that are caused by
<BR>
people running xsane as root? I have not had any problems that were not
<BR>
related to hardware (or to my own incomplete knowledge of LINUX.)
<BR>
<P>I do intend to switch to a normal user setup as soon as I get my
<BR>
hardware straightened out. I am fully convinced of the advantages of a
<BR>
controlled system - under my control. That is one of many reasons that
<BR>
I am doing my best to get away from Windows. You don't have to preach
<BR>
the advantages of LINUX to me, I am already converted. I simply haven't
<BR>
worked my way into things far enough to be confident of my ability to
<BR>
setup users and application programs to work properly.
<BR>
<P>BTW: I really do appreciate all of the hard work that you and so many
<BR>
others have put into LINUX and the software to be used on it. I see how
<BR>
difficult it is for me to find the time to simply install and use the
<BR>
things that you all have created, and can only marvel that you have the
<BR>
time to create such things.
<BR>
