If you’re using Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), there may come a day when you need to move the updates to another drive.

If you’ve got a few boxes around your workspace, you occasionally might like to be logged on as root (you normally shouldn’t be logged on as root unless you really have to, use su or sudo instead!) and watch something on one screen while working on another.
