What are some of the things ROOT can do that could possibly destroy the computer I eventually plan on diving into software manipulation, and i want to avoid any and all things that as ROOT could destroy my system. I know tinkering with the file-system are dangerous to mess around in, but is there anything that i should avoid? I'm using Debian OS and Gnome workplace interface. Also i haven't started to mess around in the files yet... I just know i can trust the community to help me not mess up the OS.

You can prevent all users and even root user to login to system if you delete /etc/passwd file.
