I'm a defenestrator, and I really tried to tolerate the constant
nuisance of running as a user. I finally decided that I would just
accept the scorn of the Linux gurus and enjoy using Linux as root. I
don't do that much from the command line, which seems the most likely
spot to do something disastrous. I've made a few bad mistakes, but I
only made them once.
