well, when i set up a computer for granny i don't give her the root
password...therefore she CANNOT trash her computer..

she CAN accidentally delete HER files, and HER videos and etc...but, she
can NOT trash the system..

linux is FAR safer in that way..

its asking unknowing folks to ADMINISTER (administrator = root) their
system when you get into trouble with system trashing...isn't that the
way winders does it--one password and you can just go in and delete the
kernel..
