Running as root

[homeblend]

So this is something that keeps coming up in my tech circles.

I LOVE not having to type a password every ten minutes, but why is it ok in puppy to NOT use a root password, but a security risk in something such as Ubuntu or Centos?

Can someone explain this to me again?

[Flash]

Ah, jeez, this must be about the fifth thread someone has started on this subject. Would you pleas find and read at least one of the others before you start a new one?

Edit: Homeblend found a good thread from 2005.
