No, the default (debian3.0r.1) is to comment that in .bash_profile: # if [ -f ~/.bashrc]; then # source ~./bashrc # fi I don't see why this is commented, for it seems to disable ~/.bashrc. Is that so? If so, why it it disabled by default? > Note, just in case you didn't know this. After making changes to > these files it is not necessary to exit and relogin.

You won't be sorry you switched from RH!! I don't know if this comment is accurate, but RedHat seemed to be moving toward a more integrated desktop, which a) caused unexpected problems b) that are harder to resolve.
