Then there's the BSD's and it's users.  But, of course we know not to do 
these things.  MAC's are now BSD's too. But why the bang on Linux's?  
While the bloated gui of SuSE 9.2 is annoying, it warns to not run as 
root, and a root login to the GUI is nowhere near as friendly as using 
the non root account created during startup. 

Further, where's your evidence?  Whilst nimrods run as root in Linux, do 
you have evidence that a majority do?  How about MAC users?  I know 
large MAC networks that require passwords to do this.  Sure you can 
kinda do this in Winblowz XP Pro...but XP Home?  Yeah right.
