  1. Re:When I was in college and Linux was young... on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    I ran rm -rf * in /usr once and hit control-c in about two seconds when I realized where I had executed the command. Ever since then I've been glad for package management. I was able to use RPM to see what files were missing from packages and then reinstall all of those RPMs. After then I don't think I could ever comfortably administrate a machine that didn't use package management for the core OS.

  2. Re:its true on Remote Controls On The March · · Score: 1

    I don't mind having remotes as long as I can control all of the device from the device itself. I have an old VCR that I can't do much of anything with unless I have the remote. I ended up losing the remote after I moved and now all I can do is play, stop, rewind, and fast forward. I can't configure it or change to the line inputs at all.
