 ======BASH Customisation======
 The standard BASH colour configuration uses a blue colour for listing directories (ls) which is difficult to read on a black background. While this is the "standard colour", due to the impracticality I have decided to change it.

+====BASH Prompt====
 I like a standard looking prompt, none of these Apple look alike things that seem to be popular on the nerd media at the moment.  I do not see much value in the prompt showing the date as this is shown on the main GUI screen.

-=====Colors=====
+====Colors====
 Seems like the main terminal colors is 1bit (light and dark), 4 bit or 16 colors, while "expanded" is 256 colors.  The pallet the colors can be selected from can be varied from 24bits (16M) on more modern systems.
 The LS command allows the colors to be changed via the LS_COLOR environment variable.
