I always find this sort of declaration a little exagerated, and funnily no one ever seems to answer: "why?" To me there is little difference between running an app with sudo and running it as root. If I need to do a lot of work as root, I just log in as root (and I've set up the root desktop with ugly, flashy colours so that I know I'm there). Letting you login as root with a GUI is a nice thing of TDE. Of course no one should "live" as root (although I did that for one year when learning how to use Linux, but that was not a "production" machine), but why make people believe that as soon as they are root, they are doomed? People live as root on Windows machines and while this is a dangerous thing, bad things don't always happen. I just feel that this "never run Linux as root" is some religious mantra, and who does not respect it is an heretic.
