Jeremy In moving subsets of user data from user to user, the greatest thing is to mark and copy, or mark and move, In doing a selective delete of files, marking and deleting is ever so much more convenient then using rm -rf .... And it is less error prone too.
I prefer root with gui to sudo with command line, for speed and for less chance of error. I like command line for editing with vi, Leslie PS. In general, I agree with you about logging to root. I do so and I never use the net except for synaptic.
