If you feel that you can use it safely enough, then surely you must have the 
abililty to change/enable any of the features you want, why should mandrake 
be changed for 1 person, when >99%  of people want it the way it is, or dont 
know better to make that judgment themselves.

And why log in as root to install software etc? I havent logged in as root 
directly for over a year and i can do all those things. You can set kdesktop 
icons to load administative programs as another user (root) and then it will 
ask for a password on loading that program.
