I am a developer using Linux fedora.I seen in lot of links that it is not a good idea to use root user,because someone can easily hack my password.Instead create a separate account for development purpose.But i am using my own fedora machine and myself only using.In this case is it recommend to use a separate account instead of "root".Need more clarification
1If I were you, I'd use a non-root user. It's just good practice. I'm no developer, but I'd imagine you'd want to code as a non-root user as well, to ensure that your code works well when not logged in as a root user, but I could be wrong. – Josh – 2013-10-29T15:44:43.830
Using root in Linux is like using the default account in Windows XP... full system control with no restrictions... bad idea... – TheXed – 2013-10-29T16:22:31.790
