Where Linux sets its own alias's
Okay, kinda dumb question, I'm using Slack 9.1...where is the default alias's stored at? I would like to make my own and store them for when the system boots up I don't have to type them all the time. I just don't know where they are supposed to to saved at...perhaps /etc/profile??

Since all the scripts in /etc/profile.d are executed during login, I just added an "alias.sh" and put all the custom aliases in there.

For user-specific aliases, you can store it in ~/.bashrc

my regular user (not root) doesn't have a .bashrc file in the home directory. Do I need to create one? Does it get exec when that user loggs in? Also, I was wondering what scrip it was that loads the quotes everytime I login. How do I get rid of them from showing up? THank you so much for your time.

To get rid of the quotes all you have to do is open /etc/profile.d/bsd-games-login-fortune.csh and /etc/profile.d/bsd-games-login-fortune.sh then comment out all the lines.
Hope this helps

If you need your own custom aliases, then most likely yes.

As mentioned by someone before me, it's called fortune. Use pkgtool to remove it  |

It also depends on what shell you use. I use tcsh and put my own custom aliases in
~/.cshrc |
