Depends how you define "problem"... rm -rf /*

if you have an app cal 'svchost.exe' running you need to end task it, theyre part of a java program that allow users to log on remotely without you knowing.

 

Evil geek.

 

svchost = a lot of vital services.

And how does that differ from deltree ?

 

alias rm="rm -i"

woo hoo linux, unix talk!!

[Clubbing Si]

have to agree linux is better!!!!!! still dont like chmod though cos i keep locking up the entire system lol

[JezB]

deltree prompts iirc, and with SFP on windows, u can't delete most of the vital system files anyway.

 

I appreciate that linux has its advantages, as any OS does, but I just don't believe that they lie in the home computer market.

 

could you remind me what the -i flag does if you'd be so kind? It's been a while since I used a linux box.

I'm pretty sure there's an option to turn off prompting, but I could be wrong, I don't use Windoze. And since when has IE been a system file ? Why can't I delete it ?

Possibly not, but it's getter more and more user friendly especially with the advent of GNOME 2. And if you're after reliability, it can't be beaten.

That would be 'interactive' , i.e. it prompts you before each delete

And thinking about it, if your system is configured correctly, you shouldn't have permission to delete any system files anyway.

I can see this just going on and on.

 

It's all down to preference in the end really...

far too much computer jargon for me
