Of course, running as root all the time is not very advisable.  I
almost never log onto my PC as root, ever since I did:

rm -rf .*

on root's home directory (/root).  Bye bye system...!!!  That was
about two years ago before I'd learned much about Unix!  It would be
much more advisable to set the directory world writeable, or give each
user their own system folder.
