SuSE Linux: All versions
/etc/skel
are saved in his/her HOME directory. These files
determine the look and feel of the user's environment.
For instance, if you execute the command ls -al
in the home directory of the user
joe (usually /home/joe
), some files beginning with "." are displayed. Many
of these files are responsible for certain settings, for example:
.Xmodmap
is in charge of the keyboard layout under X.
.Xressources or .Xdefaults
control the behavior of X applications.
.bashrc and .profile
are responsible for the shell settings (bash in this case).
