[UCLA-LUG] .bash_profile and .bashrc files

[MIng Yu]

Yes, I do completely log out of my system and relogin but it still does 't work.
Also, I put the line   alias ls="ls -a --color"  in the .bash_profile and .bashrc
under my home directory and in the /etc/bashrc file. The way it works now is that,
I need to type bash -login to pretend that this terminal is a login shell.
Otherwise, the terminal from the toolbar icon in neither GNOME nor KDE won't
execute my .bash_profile and .bashrc files.

Thanks.
