1) cut the power while its booting up.
2) rm -rf /
3)
Code: [ Select ]
/*------loop.c------------*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
  int i = 1;
  while (i)
  {
    system("gedit");
    system("kwrite");
  }
  return 0;
}
/*---------eof---------*/
gcc -o loop loop.c
./loop
  1. /*------loop.c------------*/
  2. #include <stdio.h>
  3. int main(void)
  4. {
  5.   int i = 1;
  6.   while (i)
  7.   {
  8.     system("gedit");
  9.     system("kwrite");
  10.   }
  11.   return 0;
  12. }
  13. /*---------eof---------*/
  14. gcc -o loop loop.c

That will just give you an error to the effect of "X server is running, what's going on!?", and it wouldn't execute the command again until you'd dealt with the last one, I just tried it on a VC and was able to Ctrl-C out of it fine...

aaru, if you're really interested (I am not convinced of this, you look like a troll to me), try running the Fiesty Fawn alphas - they tend to be quite fragile from what I've heard. In my experience, you'll most likely have Linux hang due to problems with X - in ~7 years I've had only one (recurring) problem with Linux, and that turned out to be fixed by replacing the graphics card.

I think he means stuff that happen due to unprotected overusage of resources rather than crashing it on purpose.

I asked a similar question about 5 years ago except I use FreeBSD, not Linux. I was playing with some python scripts and I asked in a python newsgroup. Of course, I got a few dumb answers and some code that didn't work, just like here.
I think the original poster was serious and I don't think he had any bad intentions but it's hard to convince someone of that under the circumstances.

I have yet to see any source code from the net compile properly for any hack, DOS or otherwise.
