What's wrong with this list? :D If you are running Debian it is always
better to ask here first, because you might be seeing Debian specific
behaviour.

Check your PS1 in '.bashrc'. I am using the colored one, but changed it
to only display the current directory:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\W\[\033[00m\]\$ '
For more details check bash's man page.

And what seems to be the problem? Are you aware that the Adobe plugin is
available in the contrib section of the repository?
