thats what most w32-users think too...and that's why there are hardly
any exploits, rootkits, trojans and the like.

if you don't like the concept of privilige separation switch to w32 or
osX (OSX/Leap-A is just waiting for you...)

seriously, becoming root now and then will not shorten your creative
uptime on the long run.

there are a few special cases where becoming root might really be a
nuisance (e.g. somebody else needs control over a service but you don't
want to give them the root-password; on single user laptops, configuring
the wlan might also be ok to reside in user-space); for this, checkout sudo.
