You guys DO know that 'rm -rf /' is a harmless command that simply exits with an error message? You should use 'rm -rf /*' to kill someone's system.
You say that hoping that some of us will try 'rm -rf /' ?
By the way, I fear 'rm -rf ~' as standard user as much as I fear 'rm -rf /' as root (call me believer, I'm pretty sure it works on some systems).
AFAIR rm -rf works only on a system with pre-6.x coreutils (and without a backport). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
