I remember my painful lesson well. I was cleaning up after many iterations of a apache+php+ssl build. # rm -rf * .log :: waiting :: :: waiting :: :: realization sets in :: ^C # ls -la bash: ls: command not found :: cursing in disbelief :: # pwd bash: pwd: command not found :: more cursing in disbelief :: :: wondering how far it got :: :: more cursing in disbelief :: :: realizing it got too damn far :: :: realizing that the tape backup should be the first priority :: :: praying that the error didn't make it to the RAID where all the important stuff is :: :: reaching for Redhat CD :: Indeed, if one hasn't learned, one will.
