So I didn't understand the point of mentioning not to run the program as root, as that was not what he was doing. As a by-the-way, how am I to know who to trust when I install software? I have installed many things from sourceforge. Can I be certain to trust every author on sourceforge? Because I feel like if I'm downloading something, su, then running (installing) it, I am doing something unsafe. Not everything is available in yum. For that matter, how to be sure that all which is included in yum is safe? Thanks. http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/pages/artist_albums.php/370/Nelly Nelly Lyrics
