Description

This my personal console configuration files used in Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS & 14.04.1 LTS. It will override the default Ubuntu Terminal settings and make the console more informative and Mac like. Though I use it on my Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS & 14.04.1 versions, but it should work perfectly on other versions of Linux.
