The guest account solution is probably best for this situation, good luck with that. | ||

A goddamn retard, that is it sounds like you dont have 100% trust for your roommates (or friends or w/e) and in that case letting them use your computer for anything more than like the occasional email check is a terrible idea. | ||

Either way, the best way is to have a guest account, where they can't install shit. There are still ways around it, but honestly, if they're THAT desperate that they HAVE to play when they're on someone else's computer and not their own, then they're probably beyond help anyway.

Friends are fine, but allowing password-less root access on your personal machine is generally a bad idea, period. This is especially true if you have any sort of sensitive personal information stored on your computer (credit card numbers, passwords to important accounts, etc.). | ||
