Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm trying to customize my bash prompt for konsole/kterm. This is the the coding for the way I want it:
PS1="\e[32;1m\]\u@\H \W#\[\e[0m\]"
For some reason when I close the session it doesn't come up this way. Whats wrong...
here is a copy of my .bash_profile and .bashrc files from my home dir.
==============================================
My .bash_profile:
==============================================
source ~/.bashrc
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
unset USERNAME
==============================================
My .bashrc file:
==============================================
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]
then
#we're on the system console or maybe telnetting in
export PS1="\e[32;1m\]\u@\H \W#\[\e[0m\]"
else
#we're not on the console, assume an xterm
export PS1="\e[32;1m\]\u@\H \W#\[\e[0m\]"
fi
