Notes

A dead-simple .bashrc (I prefer simple stuff)

  • displays username and full path
  • displays random fortune along with a random ‘cowsay’ (you need the corresponding package for this to work, in my case extra/cowsay and extra/fortune-mod on ArchLinux)
  • no special case for root shell
  • git branch stolen from here
  • aliased the default ls to ls++
  • font is misc-fixed-medium @ 11pt
