Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I suppose I've never looked at it like that. I build in an X-term
on a PC separate from the machine I'm building on. I use hummingbird
for X, whereas I'm sure putty would provide the same.
Anyway, I *always* use a dedicated build user and never log into
X using root. I simply 'su' and then run firefox one time, close
the window and exit the su shell. I never looked at that as logging
into X as root.
Do what you think is best. You asked for comments, I provided one,
now you provide additional comments to counter my comments. :-)
It is a minor thing to me. As mentioned, do what you think is best.
I know Andy doesn't have an issue, so perhaps just go with the
majority, which right now is to not mention root.
However, I'll offer one more opinion. Since moz recommends running
one time as root, perhaps phrasing the message something like:
"Though the Moz developers recommend running firefox as the root
user one time, BLFS testing has shown that equivalent functionality
is provided by doing this instead (this is also mentioned by the
Moz devs if running as root is not available, or desired):"
