Both Debian/Ubuntu and SUSE distributions color the prompt for
different purposes:
* Debian/Ubuntu colors the normal user prompt and leave the root user
prompt alone
* SUSE colors the root user prompt and leaves the normal user prompt alone
I actually would prefer that we color both, and make it obvious that
"root" is special. We should account for common color-blindness
issues, though.
