New That's one reason I use "sudo su"
The extra step gives me more time to remember gotchas like that.

Another trick, my default terminal prompt is of the form name@host: so I have lots of reminders about which machine each terminal is on.

Cheers,
Ben

New Dude, I'm using color
If that doesn't cue me in, the text of the prompt won't help.


But yes, Greg, I believe I'll be fixing that shortly. Soon as I figger out php/A2. And my vim syntax coloring.
