More detail:
When you login ~/.profile gets "sourced" (equivalent to saying "$.
~/.profile" on the command line). ~ is whatever your login dir is, so
which .profile you edit to do this depends on what user you're running
as. Usually I put my environment variables in my "user" account, and
then use sudo (so that I'm somewhat protected against slippy fingers).

There is no /.profile, that's never used by anything. Every .profile
file goes with a login dir. All the login dirs are under /home, except
for /root.

Good luck.
