@itsfoss I worked with various unixen, often in admin or admin-adjacent roles. So I always was a little scared when I was at a # prompt. I knew that the wrong command would find 6 or 7 angry people knocking on my office door.

Installed Slackware at home from a bunch of floppies in 1996. Ran through the instructions, it did its Thing, and there I was sitting at a # prompt. Suddenly realized I could do Anything I Wanted and worst case I'd have to reinstall. And I could do that. Epiphany.
