Code:
rm -rf / path/to/directory So this is equivalent to rm -rf / and it probably never gets as far as rm: cannot remove "path/to directory" : No such file or directory So this is a bad thing to type as root. Used as your username, it'll "just" remove all the entries under your /home/username, and any files you may have in /tmp, so you are wiped out, but the system will still continue to function normally ( root can login, and re-create your account, if not the data it held ). Backups are important. I once hosed my system with (as root) Code:
cd /home/tred/oldhome-with different-UID:GID System broken. Can you work out why? [Reinstall required (but no data lost). Lesson learnt :) ] |

Though I'm suspecting it might have something to do with the space in the filename. |
