Switch Terminal colors per user
Authored by: gshenaut on Dec 28, '04 01:35:10PM
It's nowhere near as flashy, but what I do is to put this line into the start-up for all my machines (I like to use /etc/profile for system-wide things like this, but ~/.XXXrc is fine too):
PS1="\$LOGNAME@`hostname -s`\$ " ; export PS1
This tells you who you are and what machine you are talking to. Sadly, it's not color-coded, though.
