(No Title)

Ok, bold statement of the day:

Deleting your /tmp directory in Linux is a bad idea.

Yeah.  It’s important to remember to type

rm -r /tmp/*

instead of

rm -r /tmp

At least I didn’t do a

rm -rf /

Which in dos-speak is

format c:

with no warnings.  Luckily, a mkdir and chmod saved the day.  I love Linux.  I’d be reinstalling right now with Windows.
