Hi, devs |

I was reminded of this whilst reading over the newly posted Desktop Guide. |
| 4 |
Great work by the way, I enjoyed reading it. |

>From /etc/profile: |
| 7 |
#eval `dircolors -b` |
| 8 |
#commented out because it causes problems with tcsh |
| 9 |
|

Why not just change it to: |
| 11 |
eval `dircolors` |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
...which causes dircolors to act properly, based on $SHELL. :-) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This makes the default setup more colorful... archives and image files |
| 16 |
come to mind. Is there interest in providing a DIR_COLORS file? |
| 17 |
This could extend things even further. |

Another nugget I was thinking of... Gentoo doesn't currently have a |
| 20 |
lesspipe.sh script. If you're not familiar with it, this lets you view |
| 21 |
compressed archives and such using less. See: |

|
| 24 |
Slackware has a simpler implementation, and Im sure other Linux vendors |
| 25 |
provide one.. probably Debian. But anyway, its incredibly useful.. If there |
| 26 |
is interest, I could look at making it work with most since it is the default |
| 27 |
pager. Any interest in this? |
| 28 |
