So I should backup my files before I do anything on UNIX, just in case I

Your knifes aren't a problem if you ahve backups. I don't think it works that way. Honestly,
this is the attitude I'm
talking about that I think needs correction -- the attitude that "real"
Unix users never make mistakes and if they do, they *deserve* it. It's
computer-based Stockholm Syndrome as far as I'm concerned...
I don't think
the idea is that "real Unix users never make mistakes",
it's that they learn from their mistakes. I've certainly burned and/or
cut myself pretty badly in the kitchen with hot objects and very sharp
knives that I've learned to be more careful. So far I haven't lost any
fingers. In Unix, the knives are out and they're sharp enough that you
won't notice you've cut off your files until they're gone.
