First of all the one line I left from your message explains where you
should create your own aliases. Create in you home directory a file called
.alias and add all your own aliases in there.
If you want to create system wide aliases so all users will get them you
can put them in /etc/profile.local.
Second, the system wide aliases are stored in /etc/profile

I've a question.
I want to create this alias, amongst others:
alias onic='ssh -l bubonic zippy.shellyeah.org '
I can do that and the alias will work, but after I'm done and close the x-terminal, I lose the alias. How do I keep the alias saved?
If I just type 'alias' or 'alias -p', I get a listing of all existing aliases, so I KNOW they are being stored somewhere....
test -e ~/.alias && . ~/.alias
