Being the only user on a machine is no excuse for logging in as root for
normal operations on a machine.

Just create yourself an user account on the machine and use that.For
example, if your email address is smonk@xxxxxxxx (you *have* registered
yourself a short email ID at mail.vsnl.com, right?), create a user account
called smonk and use that. Everything will work as advertised.

There is no greater heartache than being logged in as root all the time, and
making *one* stupid move and destroying your system.
