Thought all you AltOS monkeys would appreciate this (if you don't know what it means, then you probably shouldn't be in this section of the forums =)

Could ya explain it for me??:D

Sorry, I have Linux, but I haven't gotten very far into the CLC commands... All I know how to do is change a directory, and read the MAN files....

Just a guess...
RM... ReMove??
-rf.... No clue.... Real fat!?!
/bin/laden.... the bin/laden directory?

went and grabbed my linux guide to give you the EXACT definition it gives for the command...



The rmdir command is often replaced by rm -rf which enables you to delete a directory, even if it is not empty. Use with care!

basically it's just a command to delete the /bin/laden directory (basically saying "Kill bin Laden and all his cohorts" in geek talk :cool: )

rm = remove (del for dos)
-r (recursive, gets all the sub folders and items)
-f (force, equiv to the auto yes to all in dos, gets rid of read only, etc)
/bin (popular directory in *nix) usually associated with a web server/ftp, etc..
/bin/laden (laden sub-directory for the bin folder, c:\bin\laden)

that help any?

/bin is typically for binary files...that's the base reference for when you type a command...that and /sbin (system binaries) but those only work when you're root (or have root powers!)

rm -rf /
well this won't work if u are not root, but this is very interesting command if u login as root. :)

So basicaly, I was right (cept about the real fat thing.:rolleyes: ). Oh yeah... I knew about the "bin" directory thing. After searching though a few program folders, I found all the programs in it's bin directory. Figured it must stand for binary.... Even the all(er..non)mighty windows uses such directory naming.

Linux n00b stuck with CLI.... Boy it sucks!
