Download
Copy to your home folder (ex. /root) and save as .bashrc restart the terminal and it should come up
You may need to change the ‘ and “, the blog changes the characters in a strange way.
This .bashrc has been tested only in Debian eth4, in Ubuntu it didnt work quite well.

Before changing be sure to do backup:

# cp ~/.bashrc ~/bashrc.backup
# gedit ~/.bashrc

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# login script for users, set nice prompt and colors By Felipe Ferreria

#HISTORY SIZE
HISTSIZE=100000
#HISTORY UNIQUE CMDS
HISTCONTROL=erasedups

# If not running interactively, don’t do anything
[ -z “$PS1” ] && return

# check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
# update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
shopt -s checkwinsize

#Make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1)
[ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval “$(lesspipe)”

#Set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
if [ -z “$debian_chroot” -a -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)
fi

#Set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we “want” color)
