Picking a nit for safety.

One should never ever say

    rm -rf /anything

If one were to make any of a number of mistakes, such as accidentally
pressing RETURN or SPACE after any of the /'s, there will terrible damage
done.  Instead, cd into the desired containing directory and then rm -rf
name, no leading /.

    cd /usr/lib
    rm -rf win32

If this gets screwed up, the damage is confined to a much smaller part of
the system.
