Linux / Unix Question?

Question

In a UNIX system, we have two types of user accounts --each with specific levels of privileges, permissions, and power. Explain the differences between a casual user and the system administrator (called "root" or "superuser" in UNIX circles).

Answer 1

The root, or superuser, is The Boss.
He (she) can be relaxed, and let everyone else do what or they want.
Or, he/she can be very strict, limiting what you can do.

Either way, they set rules that everyone else have to live by. What you can see, modify, execute.
