Use of Root

[karina.popkova at verizon.net]

Hello

I know there is an on-going argument on the 
priviledge of using Root.

If you are a System Admin, you do not 
want the User to have Root priviledges.
If you are a Heavy Duty User, you want 
access to root, for expediency.

That argument aside, and assuming security is not 
an issue on a small closed network, (yes, I know
that security is always an issue!),

what are the kinds of things a User can do
if having Root priviledges, that makes his (her) 
job (daily life) easier in a Linux environment?

thanks
