Yeah, great point. Problem is I (for one) don't know HOW to compile "--color" as the default. Same thing with "less" as the default pager instead of "more", sure would be great to have that be standard. Maybe someone could make a .deb package with all the cool "options" as defaults:
less as pager default ls --color color prompts common aliases, variables and .profiles etc. I am sure if we all put our heads together we could come up with some really common things we all end configuring after installing a new linux box. Put them in a package and install it, let it do the "config" for you... I haven't got the skills to pull it off - yet. Dave jones ---------- > From: Timothy C.
