uname -a && cat /etc/*release

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
3 – Customize your Terminal (bash) prompt:

~/.bashrc
b. The “root” account’s is located here:
/root/.bashrc
I used this: http://ezprompt.net/
4. Install some themes:
/usr/share/themes
5. More visuals: conky :
apt-get install conky-all
a. Custom conky files –
Your conky preferences are stored here:
