Is there any reason not to run as Root all of the time?

Better security and you can really goof things up as root. I know.:D Really once it is setup there aren't many reason you need root.

Yes, you can mess things up by accident. Plus if there are any security holes and yer logged in as root, you've got problems. You can create a user in the group "wheel" that can su to root via console without login/logout
