Hello there !

        To set up a color ls output you have to type 'ls --color' or just make
an alias for it. There are way to have different files have different
colors but I think that its up to which version of ls you are using. I
can dig up the mini-how-to and tell you how to do it. I just boils down
to writting a .color file and sticking the file extension and desired
color for it there. Let me know and I'll send you the goods =:)
