Neat-o prompts...

# Define colors for pretty prompts....

GRAY="\[\033[1;30m\]"
LIGHT_GRAY="\[\033[0;37m\]"
BLUE="\[\033[0;34m\]"
LIGHT_BLUE="\[\033[1;34m\]"
CYAN="\[\033[0;36m\]"
LIGHT_CYAN="\[\033[1;36m\]"
GREEN="\[\033[0;32m\]"
LIGHT_GREEN="\[\033[1;32m\]"
RED="\[\033[0;31m\]"
LIGHT_RED="\[\033[1;31m\]"
PURPLE="\[\033[0;35m\]"
LIGHT_PURPLE="\[\033[1;35m\]"
BROWN="\[\033[0;33m\]"
YELLOW="\[\033[1;33m\]"

So, with that out of the way, here are the custom prompts I use for my Linux systems.
Here's the one I use for my "User" machines:

PS1="$BLUE=$LIGHT_BLUE=$CYAN[$LIGHT_CYAN\d at \@$CYAN] [
$LIGHT_CYAN\j jobs$CYAN]$LIGHT_BLUE=$BLUE=\n$BLUE=$LIGHT_BLUE=$CYAN[
$LIGHT_CYAN\u@\h$CYAN] $BROWN[$YELLOW\w$BROWN]
$LIGHT_RED\\$ $LIGHT_GRAY"

On my Server machines I use something a little simpler. You'll notice that this looks a little different. I did this one when I prefered to do things the hard way, so the actual ANSI codes are embeded in there, instead of using the variables like above.

PS1="\[\033[1;34m\][\[\033[1;36m\]\d \t\[\033[1;34m\]]
 \[\033[1;34m\][\[\033[1;36m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;34m\]]
 \[\033[1;34m\][\[\033[1;36m\]\w\[\033[1;34m\]]\\$ \[\033[1;36m\] "

On my firewalls, I make the use red instead of blue to differentiate the different machines.

To put it in context, here is my bashrc file:

# /etc/bashrc

# System wide functions and aliases
# Environment stuff goes in /etc/profile

# Define colors for pretty prompts....

BROWN="\[\033[0;33m\]"
