ls output that you can actually read.
PuTTY is a fine terminal emulator for Windows. However, the default colours are rather dark. In particular, I hear lots of grumbles that the navy blue directory names used by GNU ls are practically unreadable against the black background.
I find the following colours much easier on the eye. They are the same colours that you get by default in Gnome on Linux.
Want these colours for XTerm? See xterm-background-colours.
