...Depending on the current user. Unix has priviledge levels for a reason, and is capable of functioning with damage that would render an entirely GUI- based system inoperable. The same command line interface that you believe can destroy the system is the same feature that lends the Unix environment the phenomenal amount of power and speed (and reliability!) it is known for. Yes, it is possible to cause major damage with a slip of the fingers, but the fact that MOST Unixes do not embrace the "everyone is superuser" choice of the Windows and MacOS worlds effectively limits the damage that can be done. Be careful how you generalize. -- Brandon Hume - hume -> BOFH.Halifax.NS.Ca, http://WWW.BOFH.Halifax.NS.Ca/ -> Solaris Snob and general NOCMonkey
