as root there is no problem whatsoever. And as somebody already pointed out one can easily use "sax" in a terminal and start the few programs that really require root priviledges from there. I really wouldn't recommend using browsers, mailers, chat clients, P2P software, ..., as root!
I fully understand that. But I'm finding it difficult adjusting to all the commands and keyboard shortcuts that are showered on me:
su sux sax kdesu sudo Ctrl+Alt+F1 Alt+F2 etc etc etc.

But you'll remember them and it will start making sense in time. Keep asking and keep ignoring the few "stupids" that get thrown around. Your point of educating a child about opening the door to a stranger is right on. We all need to remember we're here to help and get help. Security is a hot topic. Thanks for the excellent discussion. :) Stan
