Very true... A properly configured UNIX (Linux for this matter) system sould
be VERY usable when logged in as a regular user. For day to day use, reading
news, webbing, programming in C, and C++ (Non system programming) , mail, MUCK,
irc, etc... My regular user account is more than adequate. If I REALLY need
root, it's simple enough to click on an icon that I ahve set up, and open a
root shell, and type a password... or jsut su to root...
How hard can it possibly be?
