The perils of editing .bashrc

[Rex Eastbourne]

Is it advisable to edit one's .bashrc? I'd like to put in a bunch of
customizations, aliases, etc., but I'm intimidated by the message
saying that my .bashrc will not be updated by setup.exe if I modify
it. Does this mean that I'll have to put in changes for new programs
manually? If so, how can I customize my shell without losing
setup.exe's automation?

Thanks,

Rex
