Hi,

        Most of my files/folders are owned by root.  It's starting to seem like 
that's not such a great idea because a few of the programs that I use don't 
like 
you to be root when you run them.

        So I'm thinking that I should start recursively changing the ownership 
of my files to the local user, as I'm the only user of this computer anyways.  
I'm 
not sure if 
I said what I said correctly, but is changing my ownership drastically like 
this a good idea?  Isn't it bad to have so many files owned by root?  If my 
system 
got 
compromised then they could do whatever.
