On my "new" Slackware machine, booting in run level 3, after startx, and opening a terminal, the prompt looks like:

bash-4.3$

When I log in via ssh the prompt looks like:

rsteff@ENU-2:~$

When I open a terminal on Ubuntu, the prompt looks like:

Dick@ENU-1:~$

Why doesn't the prompt in the first example look like the one in the second, or similar to the one in the third?


There are two files that get sourced on login, depending on how you start a session:

    .bash_profile
    .bashrc
