> always doing things in a root shell Ah yes. The sudo high horse. I knew I'd see you again. Viva La #

  Don't jump to conclusions; my comment says nothing about sudo. There's a time to use the root shell, and a time to sudo; the key is knowing the difference. Dismissing advice because "it's never caused me a problem before" or "you don't know what you're talking about" will cause problems at some point. If you can elucidate the reasons (plural), you need to be in a root shell, by all means use a root shell. If you're doing because "it's easier" and no other reasons, then you probably need a bit more experience. In any case, always using a root shell is the Wrong Thing To Do.

    >Don't jump to conclusions; my comment says nothing about sudo Yeah sure this has nothing to do with sudo. Right, gotcha. > If you can elucidate the reasons (plural) "Reasons" means plural where I come from(denoted by the "s"). There is no reason to repeat yourself. I decline your request for an elaboration. The "don't use a root shell crowd" has clearly won the popularity contest in the same way TSA now has a significant presence at larger US airports. > If you're doing because "it's easier" and no other reasons, then you probably need a bit more experience. Don't jump to conclusions. There are few people here who can truthfully claim more experience than I could. Regardless of our experience levels, it bears no weight in the validity of my statement. > In any case, Not really. > always using a root shell is the Wrong Thing To Do. You are free to hold whatever opinion you wish.
