I use a 'normal shell' and a 'root shell' at the same time, that's why I want to configure settings for root. By 'shell' I mean terminal emulators, a yellow background for the normal user, a blue one for root as a reminder as to when I might break things on the command line. I find this preferable to using 'sudo'. Symlinking the .bashrc files under /root and the HOME-directory seems not such a good idea to me. So someone advised me to put aliases, functions, color settings and so on in /etc/profile. Thus they would be to all users.
