Thanks -- what an incredibly useful trick!

Anymore, almost everything I type in the console requires (a) root 
privileges, and (b) a command from the /sbin directory. Most user-land 
productivity activities can be done using one of the GUI tools or 
applications. This "export PATH" command will be incredibly useful.

On second thought, since my goal with running Yellow Dog is to learn as 
much as I can about the True Linux(TM) experience, I might not change 
my PATH just yet. It will serve as a reminder of the under-the-hood 
complexities Linux still holds.

Best wishes,
Clint
