Do you have
source .bashrc
As the last line of your .bash_profile? That might help.
Note, just in case you didn't know this. After making changes to
these files it is not necessary to exit and relogin. Just enter
. .bash_profile
As long as you have the above in .bash_profile, any changes to either
file will take effect.
Oh, welcome to Debian. You won't be sorry you switched from RH!!
