Re: Does X11 ignore ~/.bash_profile?

[Martin Fluch <fluch@rock.helsinki.fi>]

See 'man bash' how the bash starts.
In short, when you login on console (bash ist invoked as a login shell) 
/etc/profile and than ~/.bash_profile is executed. Otherwhise only
~/bashrc is executed.

If the box says 'Windows 95 or better', it should run on Linux, right?
