I have FreeBSD at home and I would like to have colored prompts. I have searched in the Bash FAQ and did not find anything regarding colored prompts. I tried the man pages also. Is this a feature available to Linux only? -------------- If this is a Linux feature would it be too difficult to introduce to FreeBSD? Perhaps it could go into the "low priority" list of things to do.
