I THINK that I don't like ls colours, but I have to admit that since I
started trying to pay attention more, I find colour coding has some
value, for some meaning of some and no value defined.
Actually no, I still hate colour LS. I like ls -F because the implied
extra information can be semantically extracted with a grep, although
why find . -type d -maxdepth 1 isn't being used is beyond me.
de gustibus non disputandum, but on a unibus, there are also no
disputes because the bus master arbitrates

For a minimalist prompt I just use:
export PS1='\h \$ '

Speaking of which, am I the only one annoyed by
Penguin/OS' silly
coloured "ls" output? I can never remember how to turn off that frippery,
as the contrast is particularly hard on my eyes; the minimalist "F" flag
works just fine.
Thanks, all; I'll just knock up a simple script that blows away the entire
environment and unaliases everything in sight. I'll probably call it
"orca"
because I have a warped sense of humour...
Unix taught me to be minimalist; you had to be when writing a bootstrap to
fit into 512 bytes...
