Curiosity killed my windows XP

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Well,it’s not only my windows XP. All my others data gone just because my curiosity to test out the most powerful command in Linux. rm -rf /

This morning, after my ubuntu Intreprid download completed I then happily burn the iso file to my empty cd, backup my stuff to to other drive and then happily run below command.

Pentaho Data Integration – Introduction
