alias, chmod
 
alias:
Why doesn't linux remember my aliases (I tried it with fedora and slack):
I have to run alias cd..="cd .." everytime I login if I want to use it.
Same thing with chmod:
If I want to watch a movie from cd or dvd as user, I have to run "sudo chmod 755 /dev/hdc" every time I login.

Put the alias command in a file named .bashrc (include the dot). If there isn't one, make one. Same with the chmod. Log out and log in for it to have effect.

should I put it in my home directory or some place else?

Yes, it should be in home, the full path to it is:

Code:
/home/name/.bashrc
Peace,
