> Hmm, how does the linux ls differ from colorls in ports/misc ?

It does NOT send colour codes if the stdout is not a tty (i.e. if you're 
piping through 'more' or doing 'ls > file' then it won't output ugly ANSI 
seuqneces).  And it's configurable, ie you can set yourself the cololrs 
that different types of files appear as.
