One of the first things I do on any installation is remove the "helpful" alias making color ls the default. Not because I hate the colors but because none of the documentation tells you which color means what.
If only there were a helpful setting every tool looked at before pretending to be an explosion in a paint factory, then I'd only have to fix one place after genning the system.
I once thought I'd found the solution when I discovered an X resource for xterm to disable color, but what happens when I use it? It decides to make everything blink instead of being in color. Gah!
