I’m still a newb so if I’m not asking correctly .. then please help.

So I’ve been tinker with fedora LDXE for a bit and I want to customize my terminal ..

I have a few books and have read a few articles .. everything points me to playing with the .bashrc file (don’t worry VM so I’m breaking lots of things purposely)

Anyways I have two questions to start:

First- my terminal works fine .. I can change my preferences in the file menu …but my .bashrc is pretty much blank .. no PS1 section or Color section like some of the tutorials point out - why is that?!

Second - all the books and online bash manual I read really only talk about changing my prompt .. but I see some people getting really intricate with Color’s .. where can I find the information .. or what language do I need to learn for the Color’s .. I can’t find any info on it?
