My 2c on this is that it's quite dangerous if you swap between machines that do not have this alias set. I used to have it but started doing some solaris and linux work on different machines and unless you take the time to setup your env on all the machines (which I do after a little while) you run the risk of expecting to have the safety net but it may not be there! Only my opinion, I think RH still has this by default. Probably good for beginners who should then remove it after a little while. -- ************** * Simon Wong * ************** -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
