Listmates,

	Coming from SuSE, I'm used to /etc/profile sourcing ~/.bashrc. I was
scratching my head as to why my .bashrc wasn't being read when I would ssh into
the Arch Linux box. Looking at the Arch /etc/profile it seems parts come from
SuSE, but not the part about also sourcing ~/.bashrc.

	Any reason not to source ~/.bashrc from /etc/profile in Arch? Will I screw
myself up somewhere else?
