I’m not sure how it’s restricted in terms of drive selection, but I can assure you that it only block erases CD-RW discs. You can’t accidentally destroy filesystems on physical disks with it, for instance.
As for Unix, Terminal help actually does have a fairly nice selection of commands to be getting on with, but there are plenty of resources on the web for Unix. Set up a second, regular user account on your Mac, then use it to have a good mess about in Terminal with the things you learn. You can’t hurt anything, and you come away with information useful on Mac as well as other Unix-like systems, like Linux, for instance. It’s a great skill to have. I have Terminal on my dock, if that says anything. :) -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
