NO.

There ought to be no monkeying EVA with the default 
PATHs (for root and other users) created by the 
authors of Linux and Unix. Period. (Which is why the 
wheel group ought to be brought back in Linux.)

Boy, I am one cranky SOB tonight, huh? But it seems to

something "Linux for Dummies" before piling onto this 
list (and others!) in order to espouse their 
well-considered albeit bonehead opinions.
