Basically, if you make a typo, or if a program doesn't work the way you want it, you can f*ck up the whole system.
As a normal user, you just f*ck up your own account. Create a new account, and you're ready to go again.

i know that,i think that it's not so dangerous to install a program as root..i'm not compiling the kernel or something like that to affect all the system..

but thats the problem, you have access to the whole system. if your finger slips, ur screwd, say you want to delete a directury from a botched make , so you type rm *, but your finger slips and you type rm /* . thats your entire everything..any mounts, EVERYTHING gone.

in such way i agree...running as root i am more careful ..
