Dear lnxtux ,
actually i was following the thread , when you asked the question
about backing up , SOME replied by saying you (rm -rf / THis is
Dangerous command which deletes the whole filesystem . and some one also
mentioned use dd /dev/zero of=<device> which dumps the hard disk
starting from track 0 with ZERO(0)
Both Commands will screw your harddisk. and must NOT BE USED
I think the List admin should have taken note of this and moderated the
messages. even someone post "out of context". List Admin must either not
allow or take necessary action . The whole Idea of GNU and Linux Users
Groups is Sharing and Helping . and Also Stallman ( Founder of FSF )
or no one for that matter discourage using windows or any other OS .
They just point out that it steals your freedom so be away from it , no
one ever says it is BAD or it SUCKS ( functionality wise) . it is the
matter of choice and ones one view . if you find ( Other OS ) is bad do
not use it . if you feel GNU Linux is good use it. and if you need Help
in using GNU System join the Linux Users Group. share software and make
it grow .
