I like the benefit of not having to worry about permissions on certain
directories getting in my way when I am looking for information. For example..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log} cd exim4
cd: permission denied: exim4
or...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~} cd /etc/shorewall
cd: permission denied: /etc/shorewall
Often when doing root work there are 2 commands that follow one another
and if either fails nothing gets done.
cd
vim
