That's best after you've got some experience.  I used to have to advise
certain people to stay away from certain #unix/#linux irc channels.  Back in
the early/mid 90's when home internet was just making it to parts of Maine I
had this guy from one of the fledgling ISPs call me and tell me that he typed
cd /;rm -rf * on his mail server after asking how to solve some minor problem
on IRC.  I guess that did get rid of the problem.  Looking recommended
commands up in the manual (e.g. typing "man rm") before using them is a very
good idea.

Best,

Jim
