I've got the following (in /etc/profile, but ~/.profile is fine as well)
Code: [Select]
PS1="\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]"

Bam:
Just create the file.

Meanie:
BTW Meanie, just been reading your webpage.  I'm very impressed with the content and the amount of stuff you have. Being in Australia myself, it will prove to be very useful when I go shopping again.
