[gentoo-dev] Suggestions for /etc/profile

[Tom von Schwerdtner]

Hey all,

  Just a few suggestions.

1- add '-i' aliases.  I think its better to have to specify -f to force than
to have to remember -i to ask before removing something.

2- Freebsd always has 'ls -A' for root (meaning root 'ls' always shows
hidden files).  I think this is a nice touch.
3- Also (iirc) from BSD, 'rmold' removes all vim and emacs temp files.  Just
nice to have.  I forget the alias...and I forget what emacs temp files look
like....so someone else will have to give an example.

Little stuff I know, but its all in the details.  ;-)

-Tom

Emacs backup-files looks like 
file~
and autosaves like 
#file#

Could work.  Only thing is that we dont want to clutter
/etc/profile.  Rather if we are going to do this, rather put
a default .bashrc and .bash_profile in /etc/skel that contains
this.  The inputrc issue can also be solved this way
by adding '[ -z $INPUTRC ] && export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc' to
.bashrc or .bash_profile.
