I would never have guessed that. Yep! Just went to my local quickie mart on the way into work and - right next to the major soda varieties - was Horchata Ole.

I use "su -" instead, much more useful. Interesting. I hadn't notice the - or the sux (hehehe - he said, sux!) commands. They provide very different environments. I had always been using SU simply because that is what I remember from back in the '90s.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> su - Password: sith:~ # exit logout This seems to actually log me into root and puts me in the root folder.
