Uh, how do you think I launch my applications from? And like I said, having two different shells (root and user) or having to launch and close root shells is a PITA. I just am root, and never had a problem.

Like I said, I'm not the paranoid guy here, I'm in fact making fun of paranoid people who don't want to run as root even when they know what they're doing. My point is it's too big a PITA to be using two users at the same time (the fag account and the real account which does everything) and bothering with passwords, sudo'ing, etc.; and since I'm not sharing my workstation, and I kinda know what I'm doing and are careful enough, I just work as root. I only create users for scripts to run (especially when they need to connect via ssh and all).
