I was trying to update .xinitrc but couldn't find the right file until I remembered something about ~/.xinitrc.  All the other .xinitrc files I found (/usr/X11R6/lib.....  & /etc/X11.....) were generic but ~/.xinitrc had the X config in it.

What is with the ~/. ?  What is this location?  All the X11 docs said to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinitrc/xinitrc but that didn't look right.

Please help a total n00b.

Thanks

EDIT < booted out by request ! > EDIT   :p


When in emelfm , to the left of the directory bar window, there is an " H "
Click it to enable seeing hidden files, which are labeled starting with a  " . "
( like .xinitrc )

~ is your home directory

for example if your username is peter then the directory behind ~ is  /home/peter

have fun with linux

Thanks guys.  THIS BOARD ROCKS !!!  

Being a n00b I lurk through the threads looking for ideas for projects and I have to say this distro has a great community of contributors.

I was intimidated by some of the full-blown distros but DSL is great for n00bs (and guru's as well).

Keep the faith.
