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
