This would go into ~/.bash_aliases in Kubuntu and is parsed on login. Good 
idea not to put it in .bashrc but call it from there, survives system 
updates.
One should remember that new aliases won't tak effect until it is a *login* 
shell, so new tabs in konsole are not affected until you manually 
source .bash_aliases.

P.S.: there seems to be a growing interest in command line hacking, is there 
a "kubuntu-bash" list or so...?
