PS1="\t \[\033[0;33m\]$(uname -s) $(echo $(uname -r) | cut -f1 
-d'-')\[\033[0m\] 
\w\n\[\033[1;33m\]\u\[\033[0m\]@\[\033[0;33m\]\h\[\033[0m\] \!\\$ "

The 0;33 code is yellow.  For root, I use 0;31, which is red.  Changing 
the 0 to 1 makes it bold.  I like the two-line effect, so that the 
prompt stands out even when using a terminal that doesn't display in color.
