Heck I don't WANT root privs... I would rather have an experienced SA to help me with the OS. Working as a team with a skilled SA is much more preferable than doing it all yourself. Also, having someone else there when the sh*t has hit the fan to work through the problem with you and possibly provide another point of view is calming and helpful.
