Environment
The configuration of the bash shell environment is stored in the /usr/home/*LOGIN*/.bash_profile file. To use the following examples, add them to the above file.
Encoding
The default encoding is UTF-8 and it is recommended to use it.
To change the encoding to, for example, ISO-8859-2, add:
export LC_ALL="en_PL.ISO8859-2"
Editor
The default editor is vi. For novice users, it may seem unintuitive. The following editors are installed on Serv00.com servers: nano, vim, ee or mcedit. To change the default editor to nano add:
export EDITOR="nano"
Coloring ls
By default on Serv00.com servers, ls colors filenames using the BSD default colors. To change the color of the output to that of GNU add:
export LSCOLORS="ExGxFxdxCxDxDxhbadExEx"
You can also disable the display of colors altogether by adding the following line:
unset CLICOLOR
Prompt
To change the default prompt to Linux, add:
export PS1="\u@\h:\w\$ "
