Colours with Linux terminals

Most Linux distributions have a 'ls' command for listing the
contents of a directory that can visually enhance their output by
using different colours, but configuring this to taste may not be a
trivial task. This document explains the various aspects and
approaches of altering the setup by configuring existing software,
plus locations of alternative software usually not included with
Slackware or RedHat, which may be used on most versions of Unix.
