Problem

I know it's not best practice, but on my dev system I login as root. What's the equivalent of the .bashrc file so I can alias some functions? I've found the & but I'm not sure where to plop my commands. Running x86_64 SUSE. thanks, mjb.

Fix for: Where's .bashrc for root?

Low Risk

Probably best to put them in ~/.bashrc . It seems root doesn't get the normal ones by default in some distros, but you just to fix that.
