I have read (with some amusement) all the remarks about the dangers of 
running linux as root.
I have been running linux (mainly RedHead) for years and I am well aware
of the tricky bits.
It is very simple to turn your internet connection off while doing some 
maintenance on your system and to do that it is very convenient to do it
as root instead of 'su root'.
In the meantime I did some googling and found the answers I needed.
Thanks for the remarks and advice.
