Let's just separate your personal aliases.
Just run the following commands to create an alias source file and add an inclusion in your bashrc

Code:
perl -wnle 's/(^alias \w+) (.*$)/$1=$2/ and print;' .login >> ~/.bash_aliases

Code:
cat >> ~/bashrc <<EOF
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
	. ~/.bash_aliases
fi
EOF

Thanks. I'm seeing the following:

.bash_profile
.bashrc
.profile
.login

All of these have alias assignments. Clearly I have some major redundancy(ies). Which of these is read upon startup? Are they read upon system boot or upon opening X11? Can I get rid of any?

Thanks again!

When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.

If you use bash you only need .bash_profile, and most time there are some lines that will check for a ~/.bashrc and use it if exists. That's why I asked you to modify it.
However, please, do not delete any of them, because they might be require if you login using another shell.

Mod Comment The "Thanks" button is still there in the lower right corner of each post along with the "Edit" and "Quote" buttons. But, they aren't visible while you're editing a message.
