[olug] sudo vs root differences: Botched npm Update Crashes Linux Systems, Forces Users to Reinstall

[Rob Townley]

not root itself.  I could see ENV variables differences have an effect on
program logic.

I would love to delve into this right now but VisualBasic6 software wont
let me.    Oh, the troubles i have seen.
