On UNIX, ~ is shorthand for your home directory.  So, the instructions are really telling
you to create a file called .Xdefaults in the home directory for the "root" and "pi" users.
That's probably /root/.Xdefaults and /home/pi or some similar.  If you log in a "pi",
you will of course be left in the home directory.

Hi

I am playing with a raspberry pi running the raspberry version of Debian..

I am trying to setupX11...

The instructions say:

Create a ~/.Xdefaults file for users pi and root, containing one line (to display x11-apps in colour)

Where do I put the ~/.Xdefaults file?

thanks
