That is not a . in the sense of the current directory. .profile is a hidden directory and the . prefix denotes this... Josh

Hi, This one kinda supprised me. When I was looking around by new 3.8 install I noticed that in /etc/skel/.profile that PATH contains a . in it, which I found supprising as I've always assumed that this was not a sensible thing to do. I've taken it out as I'm not too happy when having the current directory in the path. Any ideas why this is there? Thanks Jon
