Do you really think it matters? What could happen, aside from making

I understand this has been "fixed" in some versions of unix/linux... but
let us not forget the perennial favorite of many an old fart sysadmin:
/bin/rm -R * in any dir, but especially fun in in the root dir /
Never allow or use root priviledges unless you need them for a specific
task, this ain't windoze. Either that, or back yourself up to the hilt,
because you *will* shoot yourself in the foot. It's not a matter of if,
it's a matter of when. ...and, naturally, I'm speakin' from experience!
I /knew/ I was in the /tmp dir I only missed by .. - thankfully we had
good backups!
