But don't - whatever you do - set up an alias for "rm" to be "rm -i" in your .bashrc or equivalent because that is a very dangerous thing to do. You'll get used to having that safety net there and being able to confirm every deletion. Then one day you'll be using a different system that doesn't have the alias set up, and you'll do an "rm *" thinking it will prompt you and realising your error all too late...
