Hello,
i have a suggestion about the default terminal prompt. The normal prompt
looks somethink like this:
heinz at workstation:~ $
I think a color code (green for user, red for root, and a color for the
host) will be better.
As user sascha:
sascha at workstaton:~>
\___/ \_______/
green blue
As root user:
root at workstaton:~>
\_/ \_______/
red blue
Via ssh on another computer (not the problem ob ubuntu)
sascha at cerberos:~>
\___/ \_____/
green yellow
This will the user easily show what kind of account he use on the
terminal. Yes i know we don't use root at a normal installation but the
most people i know using ubuntu has gave their root a passwort and use
it via su.
cheers
Sascha
