If you want full control over your system, you should use Linux. I ssh'd into my server once from 500 miles away, logged in as root, and proceeded to have a brain fart and typed: rm -rf /* When I meant: rm -rf * I managed to hit Ctrl-C before the entire disk was deleted, but I think it would have deleted everything, including the kernel files and running executables (because Linux forks the executable in memory and no longer relies on the disk version once running). Running daemons started failing because supporting files were no longer there. That was an interesting few days.
