An account that can be used for system administration, but with (if you like) different environment settings. I personally normally use toor with an environment and a shell I prefer. Also, depending on your partitioning and where your ~toor area is, there might be more headroom and less risk of eating up space in the / partition. root on the other hand is the one I use when doing the final stages of system updates and when/if an emergency happens. -- Cheers!
