The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Where did you meet UNIX for a first time? Post 302430722 by rhfrommn on Friday 18th of June 2010 12:44:09 PM
Old 06-18-2010
I started on a SunOS 4.something system in 1990 at Ohio State University. The department had Sun workstations for the grad students to use. The first day I figured out how to send an email and told my friend Jason I was now working on a Sun computer which I hadn't ever used before. He wrote back that I should type "rm -rf *" to speed the system up a bunch. I typed it in but before hitting enter asked one of the other guys what it would do. His yelp of fear and leap toward the delete key told me all I needed to know . . . . Smilie
