no permissions really and actually the list of things I had to change
is rather quite small .... when I get around to it (hopefully this

feedback

I did have to copy some stuff over from /home/user to /root  and some
scripts were hardcoded to look in /home/$user so I guess I took the
easy way out and made a symlink from /root to /home/root

I guess just a different philosopy ....  I think somethings should be
locked down ... like processes ... but not accounts  ... IMO
