is there any way i can just make ROOT and USER as the same thing, and not have to enter my password or get read/write permissions anymore?
i mean...no-one else WANTS to use this computer.
thats what most w32-users think too...and that's why there are hardly any exploits, rootkits, trojans and the like.
if you don't like the concept of privilige separation switch to w32 or osX (OSX/Leap-A is just waiting for you...)
seriously, becoming root now and then will not shorten your creative uptime on the long run.
there are a few special cases where becoming root might really be a nuisance (e.g. somebody else needs control over a service but you don't want to give them the root-password; on single user laptops, configuring the wlan might also be ok to reside in user-space); for this, checkout sudo.
