| Sorry, I meant sudo rm -rf / |

That's funny 
Personally I like to "su -" instead of sudo, but that's just me. |

Do you have separate partitions for everything? A ro / would make life difficult as far as partitioning goes on a normal system. Hell I wouldn't even want to think about trying to get a system to work normally like that. |

Gotta love Randall at Xkcd! |

I found out that if you accidently push an empty pipe into fmthard the system is kind enough to stay up just long enough for you to realize the error of your ways.

Quoted: I prefer systems where rm -r requires a Y/N prompt, and grm -r doesn't. I tend to set these aliases: alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' alias rm='rm -i' and then if I want a temp unalias for the unprotected tornado cleaning action and no tedium of bouncing on the y key: \rm -r foo Also, having been bitten once and badly early in my admin life by a misplaced space: rm -r * tmp rather than rm -r *tmp I have this habit that makes use of history expansion: ls *tmp rm -r !$ The ls allows me a quick eyeball that what I'm going to nuke is what I want to nuke, and executing via !$ avoids a typo. |
