Yes, of course. I was arguing with the "normal user should be able to download packages" part -- download, yes. Install, no way. For this there's no difference between su and sudo. I do prefer sudo because (a) it makes it easy to gain privileges for just one command (thus it makes it easy to avoid simple mistakes), and (b) it gives finer control for specific scenarios (the backup example). But hey, whatever floats your boat. Cheers -- t
