Hi The docs are there but its pretty scattered For bash you will have to read the bash manual Two basic files are .bash_profile which is the user specific settings of /etc/profile and .bashrc which is likewise equivalent to /etc/bashrc. .bash_history contains the list of commands you have typed before which is where the output of history command comes from. Xauthority is for X client/server authentication .Xresources you can specify x client settings .gconf is gnome user configuration deamon directory .gnome* is gnome specific settings. likewise for kde For kde files the documentation look at http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/fsh.php what else do you need to know? regards Rahul Sundaram
