Which file to edit - .bashrc or .bash_profile?
Most of the new users get confused between these two files. Let me try to explain and put them in places.
A .bashrc file is a startup configuration file used with the Bourne-Again SHell (Bash). Bash is the most common shell on Linux systems The .bashrc file is used for personal aliases of commands, think shortcuts, and user-functions. Also you can set a personal customized welcome screen when you login to your terminal.
According to the bash man page, .bash_profile is executed for login shells, while .bashrc is executed for interactive non-login shells. This means if you login either physically or via SSH .bash_profile is executed.
However, if I launch Gnome Terminal or any other application is launched it will execute or look for content of .bashrc file.

The best free - open source E-Mail Client
Yes that’s definitely true to me! I love Thunderbird, I started using it back in 2005 and still having gone through a lot of clients I love it. Why?
- It is available in cross platform, be it Linux, BSDs, Mac OS X and Windows
- It is meant to deal with E-Mails at first, unlike some other clients where they boast they have so much of stuff. My point is - it needs to get my mails, order them by folders(now tagging also!) and send out emails.
- It lightweight compared to Evolution and not too much thin as in Claws
- It supports all kind of features of a decent client from RSS subscriptions to rendering HTML mails.
- Support for multiple accounts, managing single SMTP or otherwise for each account different SMTP server settings.
