No, I don't, that's why I would tell anyone who is new to Linux to be very careful with the terminal. None the less, you need to understand how rare bugs like this are these days. It was patched within hours, and was stopped by the safety features until Linux told the computer to ignore those by running the "Do as I say" command. This command is been disabled by default and must be re-enabled by a file edit from the end user if they wish to use it. Plain and simple, it was an unfortunate incident that would not occur today.

TLDR: Linus experienced a rare issue, which the computer attempted to prevent until he entered a command telling it to proceed anyways. This command can no longer be run without a file edit by the end user.
