Linux?  One should be careful, when running those tiny floppy-based linux'es
I was talking about the other day, NOT to mount the DOS/W95 disk as /var and
then connect there and do "rm -Rf *", under the mistaken impression that
they are clearing out the /tmp ramdisk instead :-(

(Is there a T-shirt for that?)  (fortunately, my karma must have been
working overtime, cause this happened pretty much immediately AFTER I
installed a brand new backup utility and did the full backup!)
