Linux Shell Colors

Guys, in need of a bit of linux help. I just installed Debian Testing on a box, from scratch. However, the shell (whether local or over SSH) is not showing colors like I am used to. This is the first time I have installed a distro and had it not be automatically set like that, so Im pretty baffled. IIRC, it isnt a hard thing to get running, but I sure don't know where to go with it.

Thanks for any help.

Add this to your .bashrc, or to the /etc/profile to make it system wide:

eval `dircolors`
alias ls='ls --color=auto '
alias ll='ls -l'
alias la='ls -A'
alias l='ls -CF'

That'll turn on ls colors, and set up a few nice aliases for you.
