I recently ran into a version of RedHat (I think it was 6.2, but I *know*
the vendor who sent the equipment changed things) which had the rm command
replaced with a command that saved things to a trashcan instead of
deleting them.
It's a highly disturbing experience to be in the middle of uninstalling
something and be told that your trashcan is full!
At least it finishes whatever you're doing before telling you that...
I think I proceeded to alias the rm command to their command (destroy, I
think) which actually acted like rm is supposed to.
Somehow, having to purge one's trashcan periodically is quite irritating.
Especially when you aren't the one who were involved in implementing that
change on the machines, so you don't know it's different.
