I don't think this will change the gnome terminal background color etc. but it will edit BASH's behavior. The BASH config files for the individual user are stored in the .bashrc file in your home directory. Note that since it is a dot file it is hidden by default. Use ls -a from the terminal to see the file or invoke view hidden files in nautilus to reveal it. There is also a .profile file but it is often easier to keep all your edits in .bashrc. Now learning how to config BASH (or other shell) is a whole other topic. |

If you have a separate /home partition and if u don't format it while installing Ubuntu, all your user settings will remain intact (since all user settings will be stored in /home partition). Its always advisable to create multiple partitions (one independent partition for / so that while reinstall only that partition can be formatted) |
