It is not difficult to change the vanilla prompt that comes with Mageia to something more (for me) attractive. I prefer to have something like:
me@myhost:~>
And when opening a root shell I want it to remind me of that fact in a fat and red font:
root@myhost:me#
It is easy to change the prompt (and tempting to spend a lot of time with experimenting):
The first version requires the following line in the config file .bashrc which is in the home directory of every user:
PS1="\u@\h:\W> "
The fat red root prompt can be obtained by putting the following line in the .bashrc in /root/.bashrc:
PS1="\e[01;31m\u@\h:\W# \e[00m"
There are almost unlimited possibilities. Tutorials for changing the bash prompt are many, e.g.
