I won't share that information with my three home systems, though
I doubt it would make them feel bad.  When I'm doing backups,
system checks, and package updates, I have six active xterms.
For each of the three machines, one xterm is running a shell as
myself and one is running a shell as root.  It makes it easy to
put all three systems through their paces in a streamlined
manner.
