Certainly. Because I am the only user of my system (besides my friends logging
|
|
<BR>
|
|
in to share files or to talk), so there's really no reason to not be root.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Everyone who talks to me spouts the old chestnut that you can really screw up
|
|
<BR>
|
|
your system if you're root, but no one ever tells me how. Sure, I could type
|
|
<BR>
|
|
'rm -rf /*' and my system would merrily go to hell, but really, if I'm stupid
|
|
<BR>
|
|
enough to type that, why am I using Linux? It would be infuriating to have to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
su every time I wanted to do anything interesting besides using a program.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>If you can show me one good case where being the superuser will prevent *any*
|
|
<BR>
|
|
disaster (major or minor) not due to stupidity, I will cease the practice
|
|
<BR>
|
|
immediately.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Though I won't hold my breath.
