~/.bashrc is where user-specific aliases, environental variables, etc
are put when your login defaults to using the bash shell  in terminal
windows.

If the above looks like gobbledegook, I strongly suggest you get a Linux
book and read enough of it to understand shell commands. I like the
O'Reilly books: "Linux in a nutshell" is good and the "Linux pocket
guide is cheaper and (probably) terser.

Unlike Windows, you can easily get beneath the clicky, pointy surface of
the desktop but to do so you need at least a basic understanding of the
command shell, the most common commands and how to find out more via the
whatis, apropos and manpages commands and where to find the HOWTOs. The
Linux Documentation Project, http://www.tldp.org/ holds the latest
copies.

Problem solving with WINE requires some familiarity with shell commands.
