@thegibson It was the early nineties while I was in university and I wanted to try out linux on my dad's 486dx2-50. Dual boot on a separate partition went well, and I even set up a mount point for the dos/win partition. After a few weeks Dad needed more diskspace on the dos/win, so I decided to wipe the linux partition... as a first step I decided `sudo rm -rf /` was a pretty good move.

@woozong @thegibson Sounds like you would have plenty of space immediately after.

🕷🐜:lattentacle:

@woozong @thegibson reminds me of when i was running out of space and deleted c:\dos as a kid

(and on that same computer i'd somehow been allowed by the Duke Nukem shareware installer to create a directory with a space in it (c:\duke n\) and i can't remember if we ever managed to delete it in any sane way or if something unrelated failed later and forced a reformat of the hard drive)
