10.5: Fix the sudo shell prompt
Authored by: Zeitkind on Sun, Mar 23 2008 at 3:03PM PDT

My prefered one:


cat ~/.bashrc

alias dir='ls'
alias ll='ls -al'

export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExCxhxdxbxegedabaghbag

declare -x PS1='\[\033[1;33m\]\u\[\033[1;37m\]@\[\033[1;32m\]\h\[\033[1;37m\]:\[\033[1;31m\]\w \[\033[1;36m\]\$ \[\033[0m\]'

But everyone has its own special .bashrc.. ;)
