Here's my 2 cents. When I set up a system, the first thing I
do to my .bashrc file is add this line:
alias ls='ls -h --classify --color'
This will give you colors and also indicate what type of file
each entry is. This works in the gnome terminal as well, but I am
unsure about other terminal programs.
