It will give you total control of the computer. Like say you had a permissions problem where it kept saying that you don't have permission to do something. Logging in as root will let you do anything with permission errors. You don't want to leave root enabled though or it will become a security risk. People could hack into the computer and take control of it.
I used a Mac screen capturing app called iShowU to make this video. There is another one called SnapZ Pro that I'm also going to try. I like iShowU because you can add background music from your iTunes Library.
Cool! I just bought a Plantronics DSP 400 USB headset/mic that is perfect for doing tuts using SnapzPro. Awesome quality! Keep posting those tutorials!
Thanks for posting this. What's a 'root' and why would I want to enable it?

A little audio explanation would have been helpful.

I will be adding that soon. I have a new headset on order to aid in narration. Thanks for the feedback.
