Hi everyone Sorry to come in late on this but I think it selfish that a user be able to install just his set of software. It would be very difficult for him to install all the packages and put the libraries in his path. If root does it, everyone can share the libs and application.
All well and true, but these days the vast majority of Linux installations are on PERSONAL computers, and as such there us usually exactly ONE user account, and that user also has root. Now, how many normally log in as root? I rarely do, but when I need to do something as root, I'm asked for the password.
