Hi Keith. "Also, some other packages will refuse to install without working as root user"
I am not disagreeing with this. Infact, if you want the application available to other users other then yourself and without making your home directory open to the rest of the users on the system, it is required to have root or more priviledge then a normal user. For compilation if you require root then something isn't quite right, in my opinion.
