From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When I feel like scrapping the whole project and starting over:

Me: (in the project dir) sudo rm -rf /*
Me: (after waiting a while) Something feels off… Why is it taking so long to delete everything?
Me: (suddenly realizing) ^C ^C ^C
System: Press any key to continue...

当我想把整个项目推倒重做时：
我:（在项目目录）sudo rm -rf /*
我:（等了一会儿）有点不对劲。。。怎么删了这么长时间还没删完
我:（恍然大悟）^C ^C ^C
系统： Press any key to continue...

mv folder delete-this
rm -rf delete-this

gives you one chance to reconsider what you just did before it is too late. And you never have a risk of a dangerous delete-all lurking in your command history.
