Colors in command line like gentoo

[chandler]

I was wondering if I could implement a coloring system similar to Gentoo/Sabayon. Right now everything is boring white (except when LSing) but I want it all to be colorful i.e. http://dev.gentoo.org/~liquidx/img/ekeys.png Thanks. Distro is Ubuntu 7.04

I figured it out... If anybody ever wants to do something similar: export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\[\e[34;1m\]\h:\[\e[35;1m\]\w\[\e[32;1m\]\$ \[\e[0m\]"

Thanks... Gentoo's been doing it for a while now. :p Be pretty cool if we could get some browns into the mix for an ubuntu version.
