Do you know what happens when you execute "rm -rf /" as root?Shouldn't it be #rm -Rf? Capital R for recursive force? Just checking... I've never run that command, but it looks like fun :-)

The rm in fileutils will take -rf, -Rf, and --recursive --force, but traditional rm takes only -rf (lowercase only). rm -rf / as root is a fun command because it's not very often that you get a chance to do it.
