Root 101 (Iodynamics)
This Iodynamics article teaches newbies
about the significance of root. "When a user logs on to a
computer running one of the various flavors of Unix, he is prompted to
enter his username and password. The system then checks its roster of users
to determine if the password and username match. If the user logs in with
the username root, using the root password, he will be given permission to
do lots of things that other users aren't allowed to do."
