Colored bash prompts

For users :

$ echo -e "if [ -f ~/.bashrc ];\nthen\n\t. ~/.bashrc;\nfi" > .bash_profile
$ echo "PS1='\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\H\[\e[39m\]:\[\e[95m\]\w\[\e[39m\]$ \[\e[0m\]'" > .bashrc

For the root account :

# echo -e "if [ -f ~/.bashrc ];\nthen\n\t. ~/.bashrc;\nfi" > /root/.bash_profile
# echo "PS1='\[\e[91;1m\]\u\[\e[91m\]@\[\e[91m\]\H\[\e[39m\]:\[\e[95m\]\w\[\e[39m\]# \[\e[0m\]'" > /root/.bashrc
