Ok, this is exactly what I thought. Well... first of all, if I use another user and I issue rm -rf * maybe I will have a perfectly working laptop but without data! And for me data are more important than a working system. The problem is that there are a lot of reasons I won't use a user instead of root, and I think that if root exist, it should e used. As in my car I have the 1st gear, I can use it :-) What about xhost? There is a way to use the screen used by another user? > > [1]Hint: before using rm with a wildcard, use ls and make sure that > you're not going to delete anything unexpected.
