Yes sure, i got /home/siebenschlaefer/.bashrc
It contains aliases, e.g., here it is:
alias perlsync='rsync -auvz rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-
current/ .' <-----------This is end of line one!
alias ls='ls --color'
export PERLIO=stdio
if i type 'ls' the output is coloured:-)
I got a .bash_profile too, but it contains nothing, so i don't know, if
there is s.th. read from.
In this moment, im running perlsync, my rsync alias to update latest
perl-sources.
