Description of problem:
Here is the default .bashrc created for a new user:
----------
# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi
----------
However, by putting the source global definitions /after/ the user specific aliases and functions will cause the global definitions to overwrite the user specific aliases when, for example starting the gnome terminal.  e.g.:
alias ls='ls -aF --color' will be overwritten by alias in /etc/bashrc if put above #Source global definitions.
Moving the comment orders will fix the problem - the order below will work as the user expects:
----------
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions
alias ls='ls -aF --color'
----------
