   Just lost an important file with a misplaced rm on !linux , How do you prevent such things?

     @frateralphio either be careful (duh!), or chmod a-w important files.

     @frateralphio: alias rm='rm -i'; and make backups (look at rsnapshot)!

     @rozzin thank you, I didn't know rsnapshot and I was actually searching for a smart backup tool.
