	I am currently trying to teach my self Linux, from the book
"Sam's Teach yourself Linux (Red Hat 5.0) in 24 hrs"  I am haveing
some difficulty with some of it's vague explanations of commands.
Would anyone here be interested in answering (helping) a newbee...?

	For example, My book is vague about createing Alias's in the
'bashrc' file found under the /etc dir.  it states that the Root user
can make alias's in the /etc dir. but that normal users must create
the alias's in their home dir.  I did some experimenting and found
that I actually needed  to create a file named 'bashrc' in my /home
dir for a normal user.  The book stated that after adding some new
alias's I needed to run the 'bash'  shells 'source' command
"source .bashrc" to use the newly created alias's.  After createing
the bashrc file in the /home dir for a normal user, my alias's worked.
Could someone please expalin to me in english what the author is
actually talking about.  
	Does each user have a different 'bashrc' config file, and if
that's true, does the Root user also have the capability to override
those alias's by createing his/her own in the /etc dir...?

	Any help would be really appreaciated.  I am really getting
frustrated with this OS.
