vim and basic .bashrc questions
Just started running Debain as few weeks ago, I ran Redhat for the last two years, and was ready to move on. Anyway the install went good and I have two user accounts, cmmiller and root. I like to do programming in the Linux environment cause I love VIM. I can run VIM as root, but not as cmmiller. Also, I have been able to set .bashrc preferences as root, like rm = rm -i. This works for root, but not for my user cmmiller. How can I make these changes for cmmiller as well? thanks -Chris = As a taxpayer, why should I support the war against Iraq this time, when it wasn't done right the first time? * GAIM ID: cmmiller1973 * __ Do you Yahoo!?
