I believe so, however recovering deleted files under unix-type filesystems
is an iffy proposition at best.  I believe there is a mini-HOWTO on how
desperate people can get at (what's left of) their deleted files.

Of course, prevention is _way_ better than cure, and keeping backups is
always a really good idea.

- have phun,
