Note that if you use muLinux with Windows on the same machine, it's even more dangerous to even think about using rm -rf /, because muLinux includes your DOS partiton as a folder: /DOS. If you delete this folder, you effectively delete your entire DOS partition.

This can be especially dangerous as muLinux normally assumes that you are going to be working as root, though this doesn't really take effect until you install muLinux properly on your computer. If you boot from floppy, then your configuration is completely erased each time you reboot.
