   What I did was to create an alias of "alias ls="ls -p --color" (you
don't need the -p, but I like it:-) and stuck it into my ~/.bash_profile.

   If you don't like the default colors (I hated the dark blue for
subdirectories) you can change it by setting and exporting the LS_COLORS
environment variable in the same .bash_profile.  For more info, do a "man
ls" and/or see the docs in /usr/doc/fileutils/color-ls*.
