you can set whatever prompt you like with

set PS1=”[newprompt]“; export PS1

but you’ll have to set the prompt every time you log in, unless you can edit the hidden bash profile that should be in your home dir

Henry, try “Linux Command” site at:
http://www.linuxcommand.org/
The author is in process of writing a book, but imho, if the goal is to teach bash, the site gets an A+. He walks through a real example. It’s good clean code. You’ll learn to do it right.

Then I would look at “The Linux Documentation Project” at:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
