I have a machine running 4.10-STABLE that will be a dedicated gateway 
with a router/firewall combo and web server plus mysql server (maybe). 
What would be the pros and cons of running this system single user? 
Processes that run under their own uid, would they be able to run?

Just curious. Any extra thoughts welcome.

Thanks,

Alex
