Death of a computer.
Want to render your Athlon XP 2200+/Geforce FX 5600 monster Linux box as weak as an average teletype? Just log in as root and run the following command from a terminal window:
find $PWD \( -name \*~ -or -name \*.o -or -name \*.log -or -name \*\# \) -exec rm -f {} \;
Yeah. That pretty much renders your nvidia drivers and a lot of the stuff that gcc needs to compile your software with completely useless. The killer part there is the one that goes -name \*.o. You should never delete all your *.o files. Never. Don’t ask why I did it (I was trying to clear some extra HDD space). Just.. just learn from my mistakes.
Guess I’ll be spending the weekend reinstalling after I backup my stuff to a spare comp.
