generally thats not such a good thing to do because of a security risk ( mostly
as root ). say if someone was going to upload or install a virus called "ls" to
your box and placed it in /home/~yourusername/thisdir/ and you executed
"ls" in that directory you would infact be executing the virus not the real
"ls".

just telling so that you dont get screwed by some asshole. ( One a single user
system i dont think it matters much )
