hi,
I assume you are using bash as your shell. I really don't know the exact command, but they know: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/
Even 'info bash' should help (but i think it is harder to read).
read or wait for someone to have mercy on your soul
check this: http://www.gilesorr.com/bashprompt/prompts/index.html

Check out fancybash for a good color bash prompt. Easy to install and easy to configure if you don't like the default settings. |
