Type 2: Those who haven't yet

Hi,
Don't forget about looking at the manual for the rm command.
# man rm

This mail sent through IMP:
rm -rf directory is definately way to go ...
though before you press enter count to 5 and ensure you haven't typed
rm -rf / (potential to say goodbye to everything )
If unsure try rm -rif /path/directory
at least you may save yourself a small heartache.
cheers
