where is .bashrc in Linux Mint 11 [SOLVED]

Question

afternoon, Im using mint 11. Previous versions have a '.bashrc' file. This version doesn't. I would like to put some aliases or functions in .bashrc. I started a '.bash_aliases' file and it works . But where did the '.bashrc' file go to?

Just for further visitors: Not all distributions provide a .bashrc by default. Nevertheless, I am not aware of any distribution that ignores an existing .bashrc. Therefore, simply create it if it doesn't exist.

touch ~/.bashrc

Any file which has a . at the beginning is a "hidden file"

If I use my File Manager and I can tick the Menu to show hidden files.

.bashrc is in my Home folder

Evidently .bashrc doesn't exist in mint 11,so I created the file ($ touch .bashrc). Inow have a .bashrc file to enter any aliases I wish. ..and it works just fine....Thank you
