This is a false dichotomy. The recommended procedure is to use GUI tools via "su". Logging in as root is useful on the rare occasions when you literally cannot log in as a user (forgotten password, reformatting /home or whatever) but you definitely don't want to do it in the normal use of the system. (BTW the prevention of root login is a Gnome thing, not a Linux or Fedora thing. KDE users don't have this problem -- but of course they shouldn't log in as root either). poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
