Think you've mastered Linux?

Post by Ron2K »

Check this out:
Linux gurus who pride themselves on their skills with the command line would finally have a way to prove it if one guy's wacky idea came to fruition. Yes, it's Suicide Linux, where any unrecognized command is parsed as "rm -rf /" ... that's Linux for "your hard drive's content go boom." Sorry, no helpful spelling correction in Bash, just boom. This concept popped up on Sam Hughes' qntm.org last year, and has been making the rounds of the web again this week.

Poll added for humour's sake. :P

Linux scares me. KDE desktop is amazing. Reliability is insanely good. Features rock.

N00bs will be chewed up and spat out though.
Soon Google will know everything...including how to divide by zero :(

Ah yes, the rm -rf command.

leet forum person, "Have you tried rm -rf?"
no0b posts a few weeks later stating Linux sucks and he's moving back to Windows :twisted:

Yes, I'm trying to get back into PCF for those of you who are wondering.

I'd be the first person to become an hero on this.

But I would do it purposefully, then reinstall Windows 7 and be all about serious business again.

us old-timers get to call it linux... you n00blets get to call it Lord and Master whilst grovelling, (in a suitably fawning manner), and licking the dust from it's doc martins... know your place, neophyte, or face the wrath of the internets!
