no. it is fully configurable. your Linux distro probably ships with
a bit tweaked dotfiles. You can try to copy the .profile (or
whatever it's called -- I don't use bash) from your Linux machine to
the FreeBSD one, and after sourcing it you should have exactly the
same shell on both systems.

I believe you want to check man ls.

you can expect 100% similarity... If you use the same configuration
on both machines.
