It's best to spend as little time as possible as root. For most small
housekeeping chores like editing a file in /etc/ I only use "su -c". I did a
dumb thing as root once and deleted half of my files, luckily I had a backup.
The moral of this story is; don't leave root logged in on a VC and turn your
back on it, especially if there's something going on over there. ;^}
