All the aliases are set in /etc/bash.bashrc
You can set
alias in /etc/profile too if you like, or copy suse's bash.bashrc, its got quite a lot of aliases to frequently used commands.
What I cannot understand is that he didn't already understand about /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, and ~/.bashrc if he figures he wants to make a contribution to a major distro. I can understand it quite easily: he never ran into it before, and never had any need to go looking in the various profile-related files.
Your whole remark is a) condescending, and b) a gross non sequitur. People who participate in this, or any, mailing list contribute what they can, where they can, and they ask for help when they need it. It is not the business or the concern of anyone else who asks what questions, for whatever reasons. Your contributions to this thread have merely served to significantly decrease the signal-to-noise ratio of this list.
