As lessons go, this is a fairly cheap one. My introduction to why I
shouldn't be running as root happened when I accidentally did 'rm - rf /usr'
on one of my first Linux systems.
I once did rm -rf /etc /cups instead of rm -rf /etc/cups.
man that was ugly.
I now always double check and hesitate nervously before pressing

rm is like a table saw. rm with the "-f" switch is like a table saw with the blade guard removed. Sometimes you have to use it that way, but you'd better be extra-careful or you'll cut your fingers off. :)
