Well, not quite.  When you're using the gui interface you're admin, and 
the scripts will do as root the things it's been programmed to do.

Surely anyone who doesn't know their way around a linux system and 
wouldn't log in and try things using an ssh client such as putty would 
know better than to use your gui terminal as well.

A word to those who don't know linux well:  These days you can buy a new 
system running linux for under us$300; in some markets under us$200; 
it's a good investment, and much safer than learning the hard way, 
making a serious mistake on a running server hosting your business and 
your income stream.
