Hi Cameron,

I believe you are just being affected by Redhat's decision to make sure only
experienced users can delete files without prompting. I think this was an
acceptable, but annoying, decision, since they were trying to get WinXX people
to move over to Linux and those people would not understand that there is no
recovery from that operation, having been used to the recycle bin.

It is just an alias in the /etc/bashrc and/or /root/.bashrc
rm='rm -i'

So go edit those and you will be back to normal. ;)

I know it bothered me for a little while too.

Have fun,
