Dear Didier,

Here's what I've put in my ~/.bashrc for all users (including root):

  alias rm='rm -i'
  alias cp='cp -i'
  alias mv='mv -i'
  set -o noclobber


While you're at it, here's what I added to ~/.profile for everybody as well:

  PS1="\u@\h:\w> "
  export PS1

Let us know if you have any specific questions about what these commands do.

regards,
Robert
