Anyways, Mir is right --> nagging helps a little, if any. There is no monopoly in this business. Not like electricity.
You do not like the ISP - change it. You do not like your girlfriend - the change it :)
Democracy they call it :)
We have received a very good offer from your company but the offer was lacking any terms about the connection to your hosting service so now we have sent an email to Mr. Medawar and are waiting for his answer.
About the root thing, yeah thanks, I'm mostly worried about me doing a "rm -rf /" in root instead of "rm -rf ./" for example... just one dot keeping you from having your drive wiped out.
But I dont think anywone could harm me coz I'm working on that box over ssh, it is protected on the internet side by iptables firwall rules that I wrote myself and on the internal network none of the users even know what "linux" stands for.
I understand the danger of running X, opening mail, browsing, etc... as root. But I never do any of this on that box anyway, I just use it as a server/router and
the GUI (X, etc...) is uninstalled so the only things I am running as root are simple shell commands.
